18] – CCAN Action Fund [info@ccanactionfund.org] needs you
in Philadelphia from Mon., Oct. 28 & Tues., Oct. 29 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
19] – On Mon., Oct. 28 through Sat., Nov. 2 from 10 AM to noon, 3 to 5 PM & 6:30 to 8 PM ET, get with a phone bank and call voters in Wicomico County. First time volunteering? No worries. Each Phone Bank shift starts with training with an organizer who will be there to help you out.
Are you a pro phone banker? GREAT! Show up on the Zoom, and you will be placed on the phone! Get out your phone, a Laptop/computer & an Internet Connection.

20] – On Mon., Oct. 28 and Tues., Oct. 29 from 1 to 3 PM ET, join Swing Left for a volunteer orientation. This orientation will continue through Oct. 29 at 1 PM ET. Take on MAGA extremism—and win—in 2024, and beyond! During the 30-minute orientation, share the most effective volunteer options. Extremism has taken root and is now thriving in the Republican Party. This emboldened GOP is attacking democracy itself—designing extreme legislative gerrymanders, rigging the courts, attempting to subvert election results, and stripping away the democratic voice of the people—in order to lock in permanent minority rule. Swing Left has the tools, programs, and community infrastructure to help you get involved strategically in whatever way you can, no matter where you are on your civic engagement journey.

26] – On Mon., Oct. 28 at 7:30 PM ET, see the film Voting Rights: The Struggle to be Counted. Brothers and Sisters, if we thought our democracy was threatened when we cast our vote in the 2020 presidential and 2022 midterm elections, the threat is much, much greater as we approach election day on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. We have a critical choice to make. We can vote to expand a democracy to include all of our citizens as Rep. John Lewis and others fought and died for; or we can vote to turn the country to election deniers, voter suppressors, and opponents of diversity, equity and inclusion. A choice between HOPE and FEAR. Photographer, film producer and social justice activist, Phil Portlock is presenting his informative and timely film, “VOTING RIGHTS: THE STRUGGLE TO BE COUNTED.” With creative use of music, powerful images and powerful narration by his wife Pat Sloan, the film traces the long and often brutal struggle by African Americans to gain and maintain the unrestricted right to have their votes counted at the ballot box. This film is Phil’s response to the June 25, 2013 U.S. Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in the Shelby v Holder voting rights case. The five conservative justices declared Section 4b (the coverage clause), and Section 5 (the pre-clearance clause) of the historic 1965 Voting Rights Act unconstitutional. This decision has led to the enactment of hundreds of voter restriction and suppression laws that have impacted the rights of millions of citizens throughout the nation.
