Posted on

A person addresses the August 2024 meeting of Charlottesville Dems under a picnic shelter. People sit at picnic tables in open air. Witt for Congress and Harris-Walz signs are next to some tables.In addition to “Turn Out the Vote Thursdays” at Ix, canvassing and/or phone banking with the Coordinated Campaign are also great ways to help get Kamala, Tim W., Tim K., and Gloria elected!

  • Saturday Canvassing: 10am, 1pm, and 4pm
  • Sunday Canvassing: 1pm and 4pm

The field team at the coordinated Harris/Kaine/Witt office will train you and then (on your already fully-charged cell phone!) set you up with a great list of doors to knock, and give you a paper map and candidate literature to pass out. To get to the doors more quickly, download the MiniVAN app to your phone and create an ActionID in the app before you arrive for your shift.

  • Saturday and Sunday Phone Banking: 1pm
  • Tuesday Phone Banking: 5:30pm

Canvassers and phone bankers should come to the Coordinated Campaign’s office at 1410 Incarnation Drive, Suite 203. It’s best to sign up in advance at https://www.mobilize.us/timkaine.

Let’s keep the huge national momentum going here! Volunteers are signing up and working at record rates for the Dems, and we need everyone’s assistance.

Things to know about Gloria:

  • She grew up working on her family’s farm in Amherst, VA, and learned to drive a tractor at age 14. Her family encouraged her to pursue higher education.
  • After saving her farming money and buying a car for transportation, she went to college, with the encouragement of her family.

  • Gloria had a 32-year career with global energy company, Framatome, in Lynchburg.
  • She is using her time and energy during retirement to help others through NAACP and the Central Virginia Academy for Nonprofit Excellence.

These problems are perpetruated by our current 5th District Rep. Bob Good and supported by John McGuire, Trump’s latest hand-picked Republican candidate in the 5th District.
