| Volunteer for our 2020 Get-Out-The-Vote (GOTV)!We're seeking volunteers to support our digital, multilingual GOTV outreach in the weeks leading up to the general election on TUE., Nov. 3. Starting this SAT., Oct. 10, we'll be reminding voters in NYC and Pennsylvania* about the election and providing guidance on 3 different ways to vote: mail-in voting, early voting, and Election Day voting. In addition, we'll assist voters with finding poll site locations or provide instructions on how to vote by mail. |
|
You can choose any of the time slots in the sign-up link above to support GOTV, but you must sign up at least 24 hours in advance before each GOTV session. When you sign up, you'll receive a Zoom link for a brief training on making phone calls and sending text messages to voters before your GOTV session begins. We'll have a collective debrief after each session. Invite your friends and network so you can GOTV together!
For more information on our 2O2O GOTV, including how to reserve a date to phone or text bank as a group, email Sandra Choi, our Civic Participation Manager.
*We'll be reaching out to Pennsylvania voters in partnership with NAKASEC. |

Additional Ask: Submit Testimony for Flushing Rezoning!
We have been continuing to fight against the Special Flushing Waterfront District (SFWD) rezoning that threatens mass displacement and gentrification of our communities. Submit your testimony to NYC City Planning Commission (CPC) by WED., Oct. 28 urging the City to oppose this proposal!
In your testimony, include these reasons on why CPC should oppose SFWD:- higher rents
- more displacement and gentrification
- more pollution
- more congestion and overcrowding
- increased policing of our communities
- no union jobs
- no schools and community centers
- no real community input, including a virtual public hearing that was inaccessible to most Flushing residents
- a privatized waterfront with gated streets
- proposed skyscrapers that violate FAA height restrictions and pose risks to commercial flights to/from LGA and JFK
Submit your testimony with the link below. Make sure to choose "Queens" as the Borough and "C 20033 ZMQ - Special Flushing Waterfront District" as the Project. |
