Please find below the weekly ACTION ALERTS from Indivisible NY24 and our legislative action teams.
The election is just 3 weeks away. If interested in Get Out the Vote opportunities, contact Joan Durant at joandurant69@gmail.com for a list of opportunities. In addition, if you would like an 8.5 x 11 Get-Out-The Vote poster, designed by Elaine Denton, for your office, faith community, neighborhood businesses, etc., contact Elaine Wolf at elainewolf0148@gmail.com.
Phone-banking and text-banking opportunities to support local and national campaigns continue this week.
And, please sign up to Protect The Results in response to the possibility that President Trump may try to contest or ignore the election results if he loses. If it comes to that, defending the election results may require mass, sustained, non-violent demonstrations nationwide. If you haven’t done so already, please sign up at https://protecttheresults.com/.

Calls will be made to voters whose ballots need to be cured and to recruit people in NC to be in-person canvassers to go to the doors of people whose ballots were rejected and can’t be reached by phone.
