Needham DTC Biden/Harris Campaign Kickoff
August 31, 2020 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
Many of you have asked how you can help the Biden/Harris ticket. For this election, the key methods for connecting with voters will be phoning and texting (not canvassing).
Our main guest will be Alex Bausch, regional field organizer for the Biden/Harris campaign in Massachusetts. Alex will talk about the campaign and how to get started with phone banking. We plan is to start phone banking soon with calls to likely supporters in-state to recruit more volunteers, and then to start calling voters out of state. We will also provide some information about safe texting, and about other campaigns and efforts, including US Senate and State Senate campaigns.
