Phonebanking Info for our Callers

Thank you for being part of our phonebanking team —
and delivering democracy from abroad

Democrats Abroad uses CallHub, a free-for-you online system that lets you call from a computer or tablet—all you need is internet access and a speaker with a microphone. Log in and you will see a script and the voter information so you know who you're talking to. Simply follow the script and then fill in the survey answers: no other record-keeping needed.

If you haven't called with us before, please sign in here, and then start here: Phonebanking Training.

PHONEBANKING CAMPAIGNS:

1. New Jersey Primary Election: April 24 to May 22

Script and Calling Instructions

Script - Spanish Version

Who we're calling:  DA members who vote in New Jersey

Why:  To urge DA members who vote in New Jersey to request their ballot for the 2023 NJ elections now. To inform them that all NJ voters abroad who formerly lived in NJ can now vote in NJ state elections (whether or not they “intend to return”) – due to a new law which Democrats Abroad worked hard to help pass.

Also, we are using a new Branching Script format. Go here for training and tips

Slack Channels for Phonebankers:

We’ve set up two channels on the Democrats Abroad Slack workspace specifically for phonebanking volunteers: 

• PB Updates & Questions: We’ll use this channel to post new information, you can check it for updates. You can also ask questions and we’ll get back to you right away.
  
  
• PB Chat: A spot for you to swap ideas and stories with other phonebankers. Just be sure to follow confidentiality guidelines and NEVER provide identifying information for any DA members.

If you’d like to join these new channels, please email [email protected]
