CASA In-Person Voter Registration (South-Central Pennsylvania)
The voter registration deadline in Pennsylvania is October 11 so the timeline is short. CASA is on a push to register people in Dauphin (home of Harrisburg), Lancaster, and York Counties in South-Central PA.
Consider organizing a group to go to this beautiful area to participate in site-based and door-knocking voter registration activities. CASA needs volunteers every day so, if another day before October 11 works for your group, that’s fine, too. Spanish skills are always a plus but they are really working to register a wide swath of voters in three counties so they can definitely use people who don’t speak Spanish.
To schedule your group for this activity, contact Kim Propeack, kpropeack@wearecasa.org, 240-491-5729 (office), 301-379-7461 (cell). If you are interested in volunteer for partisan activities run by CASA in Action, let Kim know when you contact her.

North Carolina Mega Phone Bank
10:00am-2:30pm; two shifts 10:00am-12:00pm and 12:30-2:30pm
All Souls Church, Unitarian, Washington, DC
RSVP as an individual
To schedule your group for these activities, contact ASCVotingRights@gmail.com
Join UUs from the D-M-V for a massive phone bank at All Souls! Volunteers will call voters in North Carolina in order to increase turnout. Research shows that these calls make a significant impact, because we can help people identify their polling place and make a plan to vote! These are generally very positive calls, because we’re helping people get info they want, not trying to change their mind about a political candidate. Plus we’ll make it fun with games and food and the chance to get to know other UUs from the area.
