How many hours of volunteering have you done so far for Joe Biden this cycle?

Contact rate is the primary reason a candidate will largely win or lose an election. Trump's people are knocking on doors which give them a substantially better contact rate than phone calls. Less of us are able to do that so we have to make up for it in massive numbers of calls. I know DU's been killing it when it comes to donations, but how bout hours put into phone calls/ door knocks (if possible)?

We have been deeply involved in all previous elections, but health and age indicates we need to dial back.

We have been donating more than ever, though so Biden et al. can rent and purchase materials and tools they need to campaign

You helped get us to where we are, and I know there are masses of us who are working to to pick up where you left off. Thanks again for all your hard work

I don't have zoom so I can't use the system my son is using for phoning registered Dems in swing states.

Maybe it will work for you? https://joebiden.com/make-calls-for-joe/

I know the local stuff is harder to come by cause of social distancing, so I guess we are stuck doing it remotely...

9. Okay so you just call into a dialer if you don't want to use your computer.

Then the names and information pops up on your screen as you call.

Doing voter registration, absentee ballot requests, and mailings.
Will be 'chasing the ballots" and poll watching.

That is just as important! Thanks for what you are doing!
