42] –CCAN Action Fund [info@ccanactionfund.org] needs you
in Philadelphia on Wed., Oct. 16, Thurs,, Oct. 17 & Fri., Oct. 18 from 9 AM
to noon, noon to 3 PM or 3 to 5 PM ET.
Don’t like phone banking? Don’t like knocking on doors? You want to do
something for Kamala Harris that feels more concrete and immediate? You
can get ten people per day to vote for Kamala Harris just by standing on a
sidewalk. A little-known feature of Pennsylvania law means people can actually
“vote by mail” on the spot and in person at county elections offices. Stand
outside those offices throughout the Philadelphia area and ask passersby, “Have
you voted? Want to vote now? Takes 10 minutes.”
Even better: Unregistered voters can get registered and vote at the same
time, using the same method! This event to register Pennsylvania voters
will continue through Oct. 29. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/ccanactionfund/event/656862/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=engagingnetworks&utm_campaign=utm_ftv&utm_content=FTV-Canvass+PA+SINGLE-1024-c4

People’s Action has a vision for the future in which we all have a say, we all have what we need, and we all belong.

Over the coming weeks, reach out to voters in critical states to share this vision with them and invite them to join us in working towards it.
