Your weekly checklist to show up, support, and make your voice heard. November is coming!
Over the next ten weeks, PCDWA will send you weekly emails listing Action Plans under the categories of Give Time or Give Money.
We hope that you will join us and choose one thing each week to either support Democratic candidates or Get Out The Vote (GOTV).
And every week: If there aren’t enough workers, the polls won’t open, potential suppressing voters. Become a poll worker - either election judge or election clerk - contact Bonnie Mathias, Dallas Democratic Party bonnie@dallasdemocrats.org
