Phone Banking to raise voter participation with Environmental Voter Project

Hi Everyone, 

Citizens' Climate University (CCU) recently conducted a seminar on working with the Environmental Voter Project (EVP).  EVP has spoked to us several times on our National Call.  Since many environmentalists don't vote consistently, they work to reach out to environmental voters to get commitments to vote and help turn them out for elections.  Doing so, raises the importance of environmental issues like climate among our Congressional Representative.  You can watch the CCU here.

If you don't have a group to phone bank with, we welcome you to join the Georgia volunteers who are phone banking for EVP.  We are on hiatus until September but plan to re-start for the Fall.  Sign up with us and we'll let you know when and how to join with us.  There's no obligation just join us when you can.  We'll keep you informed on opportunities and will train you when you show up.  It's all on Zoom and accessible from home.  Here's a link to join.   We'll be in touch in September.

I think you'll enjoy the work.  We phone bank as a group.  It's rewarding to know you're raising voter awareness and participation.

Many blessings,

Jeff Joslin
