Q: How is the volunteer energy as we head into GOTV in VA?

Is the 165k calls based on SL groups?

Volunteers are fired up and ready to go @Diane, but we have a lot of work to do to win! Matt is going to share more about the progress we've made so far in just a minute

@Colleen Yes -- Swing Left groups made 165k calls! Thank you everyone!!!

Great I was about to ask Matt for that stat!

WOOHOO! The Big Send!!!

Thank you for all your incredible work everyone 👏👏👏

So glad to writing to VA, with those result numbers!

Having my guest room filled with 25,000 letters was all worth it!!

Let's do it again!

SO EXCITING! so proud of all the letters everyone wrote in 2020, and all the letters you're writing now for VA!

We will keep writing knowing it has a positive impact.

Relief to know VF made a difference; can pass on to our volunteers who want to know. Incented to do more..

Can’t wait to knock some doors AGAIN !!!!!!!!!!

My small group is new to VF, and they’ll be glad to hear that this work has an impact.

my 6-year-old granddaughter loves helping me with letters. she did the underlining and highlighting and drew stars on the letters and envelopes. she was always enthusiastic about it and proud of our stacks of letters. she KNOWs how important voting is - her mother has taken her into the booth on every election since she was a baby! thank you, SL and VF.

I love that, Julia! Thank you for inspiring the next generation of voters! 💙

it will embolden GOP Donors and Volunteers too

That's right, Jim. That's why we need to win to keep up the momentum on our side!

Barbara Noveau, DoTheMostGood, Maryland. Great #s on the impact of VF letters. Putting our all into VA!

Amazing! Thank you, Barbara!

33 days!!!

Keep in mind DeJoy will be slowing down mail delivery.

Hey Joe English!

Vote Forward does a lot of testing to make sure we mail our letters on the best date possible @Beyond Arlington. So we're confident that October 16th is the best date to mail your letters to have the biggest impact!

Hey, I'm Chris Byrnes in Menomonee Falls, WI. We did 600 VA letters with VF.

We only do pick up/drop off because of Covid.

That's great, Chris! Excited to see how many more letters everyone writes before the next mail date on October 16th

Thank you for organizing your group to write letters, Ruth! Porch pick off and drop off is a great option

A few counties have Sunday early voting.

I am assuming the answer is “no” but do we have any info on polling/ratings on holding the house of delegates?

IS that VA calendar posted on the web site?

Where’s the best place to find planned canvasses?

What, if any coordination or communication do you do/have with DNC?

Are there any on Sundays?

Any thoughts yet about the pending usps changes that might delay first class mail by 2-3 days?

@Ruth We will share the slides with the VA calendar after this call

how can we work together on relational organizing in conjunction with coordinated? I am connecting their relational manager with grassroots leaders

Is Rodney Willett an incumbent?

Second question: any data/info on whether relational organizing works with out of state vols?

*works well

@Joanne You can find canvasses at https://swingleft.org/events

If we pick the VA dem letters does our message still need to be non partisan

Virginia Beach deletes races are concerning

I meant Virginia Beach races are concerning

@Sue The messages in Vote Forward letters should always be nonpartisan

I created a Facebook Group for volunteers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/virginiablueoutreachcrew

Our relational organizing and Reach guides are in our Grassroots Leaders Toolkit at swingleft.org/leaders

And twitter: https://twitter.com/KeepVABlueCrew

Thru our New Hanover & Brunswick Co. w/ NC Women for Biden/Harris, we're targeting Sponslor-- v.ia Postcards4VA. I've been told Rep. Gore needs help also.
