Come to the DVC office to learn the how and why of texting from experienced texter and text-bank organizer Ana Méndez. Organizing through peer-to-peer SMS—texting–is an incredibly efficient way to reach large numbers of contacts in a short amount of time. With text, you reach contacts wherever they are. Text messages have a readability rate of over 95%, so while contacts may well choose not to reply to us, we can be confident that a great majority of our messages are seen.
