    80 Banbury Road in Oxford, United Kingdom

    Phone bank for Mississippi run Off

    "In pro-Trump Mississippi, Democrats will have one final chance  to cut into Republicans' Senate majority.

    Democratic former Agriculture Secretary Mike Espy aims to upset Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (pictured above) in the Nov. 27 Senate special election runoff. Hyde-Smith, who was appointed to replace retired GOP Sen. Thad Cochran earlier this year, hopes to serve the remainder of her predecessor's term through 2020.  

    The Mississippi race will not swing control of the Senate on its own. However, an Espy shocker would give Republicans one fewer vote in a chamber that has seen its share of razor-thin votes since President Donald Trump took office in January 2017." CNN 

    Join us for a phone bank: we will call Mississippi voters living abroad and let them know about this important election.

    Sunday, November 18, 5 PM to 8 PM (drop-in)

    Where: 80 Banbury Road, Oxford, OX26LQ

    WHAT: The most effective way to get someone to vote is with a phone conversation. Call fellow Americans living in the UK and remind them to vote in the all important midterm election.  Bring your laptop and ear buds.  Never made calls before?  No worries.  Wine is served and you will be trained.

    Climate goals since the Paris Agreement

    posted by |
    July 22, 2018

    Incisive talk from Prof. Fran Moore of UC Davis on US progress toward climate goals since the Paris Agreement. Key takeaway: US and the world must seriously step up decarbonization efforts, to keep global warming below 2°C and prevent severe economic and environmental impacts. Key action point: Vote Democrat down ballot this November and every election going forward, to put the US government back on track on environmental policy.

    If you’d like to contribute to related research and activism (laypeople welcome), please contact the DAUK Policy Network Environment & Energy group at policynetwork@democratsabroad.org.uk.

    Voter registration team on fire!

    posted by |
    February 14, 2018

    Since the start of 2018, the DAUK voter registration team has been very busy, holding drives at Arcadia, University College London, SOAS University, Queen Mary University, Canary Wharf, Cadogan Hall, Fordham University Study Abroad, New York University Study Abroad, Foundation International Education, Richmond University, Facebook, women’s clubs, international schools and several DAUK events. We’ve also held three training sessions for new volunteers and supplemented our efforts with social media, an effective way to steer citizens to votefromabroad.org.

    More drives are in the works, and we’re gearing up for even more in the fall, when all study abroad students will need absentee ballots for the general election on November 6. However, we need help finding new locations and getting access to some old ones, where our contacts have moved on (London School of Economics and Kings College, to name two). We also want to reach out to many more American alumni associations. If you can help, write gotv@democratsabroad.org.uk. Huge thanks goes to the entire DAUK Voter Registration Team!
