It is vital that voters are informed and turned out to vote YES ON 50 by November 4. Join Swing Left Peninsula with the Bay Area Coalition to knock on doors in or near Palo Alto. No experience is necessary. Don’t worry if you’ve never done this before–we’ll cover everything you need to know once you arrive. And once you get going, you’ll find that talking to voters is fun and rewarding.

A Bay Area Coalition volunteer will contact you a few days before the event with details about the meeting location and names of people running the event. Bring comfy shoes, a bag to carry your literature, a water bottle, a pen, and a smile. A well-powered smartphone is also necessary. RSVP today and invite a friend to join us!

In-person phone bank for VA candidates (SD)
2025-11-01 10:00 - 12:00 | Private location, See description to RSVP for address in, CA
Join Sister District CA Peninsula for an in-person phone bank in Burlingame, California, to elect Democrats Kimberly Pope Adams, Jessica Anderson, and Lindsey Dougherty to the Virginia House of Delegates! After flipping the Virginia House of Delegates in 2023 by 975 votes, we must protect our Democratic majority to continue safeguarding democracy, especially with the growing threats coming from the federal government. Enjoy coffee, snacks, and conversations. Bring your laptop and phone.

Why phone bank: The data proves it: phone banking is THE BEST volunteering option for remote voter contact. We identify supporters and let them know why their vote matters, speak with undecided voters, and recruit local volunteers. Every call helps us clean our lists, which makes for a faster, more efficient phone bank!

Come one, come all: No experience necessary. Each phone bank includes training and check-ins for first-timers (experienced callers can jump right in). And it’s so much fun to phone bank in person with other callers!
