The number one thing we should be doing NOW is pushing voting in the 2013 Election. Here's why:

1. 
   This is the LAST YEAR to register at Early Voting!

 

1. We need to let voters know about upcoming changes to voting, and that NOTHING has changed this year! 

 

1. The choice is this race is critical! PA's endorsed candidates support MARRIAGE EQUALITY and OPPOSE 751 South.

 

1. Durham may elect one person to the city council who fundamentally opposes equal rights for gay and lesbian people and two people who favor development instead of protecting our drinking water!

 

1. This election is a building block for the critical 2014 work -  gaining volunteers and momentum along the way!

 

Eddie Davis and Don Moffitt need your help to win! They are progressive leaders in Durham. And if we don't put in the work this fall, we will be disappointed on November 2nd.

Poll work is a great opportunity to encourage and educate voters on about all of the choices on the ballot. Many voters this cycle will show up for the sole purpose of voting for President Obama. We need to make sure they know about ALL the critical choices and races on their ballot - from Walter Dalton and Linda Coleman to County Commissioners and the CRITICAL non-partisan judicial races on the back of the ballot. We want to make sure every voter steps into that booth prepared to vote in all contests. Many voters will appreciate our information on progressive candidates and want our materials for themselves, families, coworkers & friends.

Early Vote shifts are our top priority. The Obama for America campaign will be pushing all new registrants and less-regular voters to vote early.

Before you go, please read these rules about campaigning at election sites. Information such as this and other poll work instructions will be included with your materials.

To Our Wonderful People’s Alliance Activists:

Though it is true that the state of North Carolina voted for bigotry and discrimination, we are thrilled that our love for Durham remains well founded – with a whopping 70% of our friends and neighbors voting AGAINST the amendment.  (continue reading)

We need all hands on deck! Please help us fill the gaps in our PA poll work coverage. Many people coming to vote are very appreciative of our materials! Help educate voters on candidates and about the Amendment. YOU WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
