Action Items
Prop 39 Phone Bank
 

 

League No on Prop 39 phone banking

 

Wednesdays from 4:30-7 pm

 

Monday, November 2nd from 4:30-7 pm
We now have weekly phone banking opportunities with the No on Prop 39 campaign through election day.

As ballots are being received by voters, we need all hands on deck to connect with voters about the dangers of Prop 39. It is critical that voters hear the League's voice on this anti-democratic measure. You'll get clear training, a script, and be able to do it from the comfort of your living room sofa on your own computer or phone. And using the campaign's special system means your personal phone number will not be revealed. Read more at the website noonprop39.com (here's the fact sheet) and please sign up for one or more shifts.

For more in-depth information on the measure, read our Prop 39 ballot recommendation and the deep dive analysis.
