*Voter Advocates still needed for Virginia.

I received this:

Thank you for attending voter protection training and signing up to be a Voter Advocate on Election Day. Now we need you to do one more thing before Election Day: ask your colleagues and other lawyers you know to join our efforts to protect the right to vote. There are still key precincts that we need to staff in Virginia.

We are still recruiting lawyers to volunteer as Voter Advocates and ask you to spread the word by forwarding this email to your friends and colleagues so they can sign up now for training. At this point, new Voter Advocates can sign up for online training by clicking on the link below. The sooner a new volunteer completes the voter protection training, the sooner we can make an assignment as a Voter Advocate at a specific precinct in Virginia. If a new volunteer is unable to complete the online training, there will be one more in-person training session at American University on Saturday, November 3rd.

Forward this email to your friends and colleagues so they can RSVP now for a voter protection training session.


Voter Protection Online Training

Voter Protection Training Session in Washington, DC
American University - Washington School of Law




Saturday, November 3rd

10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

RSVP HERE






These sessions are for DC and Maryland residents only. If you're not a DC or MD resident and want to help as a Voter Advocate sign up at: https://my.barackobama.com/page/s/join-the-victory-counsel




Your friends and colleagues, like you, have special knowledge and skills to contribute to this organization, and this training will give them all the background they need to put them to use. Let your friends and colleagues know you have gone through the training and are ready to act as a Voter Advocate on Election Day.

We can't stress enough how crucial this work will be to carrying Virginia this fall. But more importantly, it's a testament to what our side stands for: helping every last voter exercise his or her right to cast a ballot.

Please spread this message -- forward this email to all your friends and colleagues.

Thanks,

I attended, and will be working in Harrisonburg on Election Day. If interested, p.m. me.
Thanks
