VOTER PROTECTION RECRUITMENT PHONEBANKS 

Help protect the vote in Wisconsin by recruiting poll observers for our April 5th election! Poll observers are our eyes and ears at polling locations, and we need your help to recruit them so that voters can safely and easily cast their ballots this spring.

All you need is your phone and a computer (laptop or desktop, not a tablet). Training is offered at every phone bank on Zoom, and we provide the script! You will receive a Zoom link for the phonebank in the confirmation email–please check your spam folder if you don’t see this email in your inbox.

Tuesdays (March 8 & 15) – 5:00 – 7:00 PM CST

Wednesdays (March 9 & 16)  – 12:00 – 2:00 PM CST 

Thursdays (March 10 & 17) – 5:00 – 7:00 PM CST

We need volunteers for the following days: Monday, February 21^st; Tuesday, March 8^th; and Wednesday, March 16 ^th. To sign up, contact Sue Schneidler at sfchneidler@aol.com. Please indicate what day(s) and shift(s)—morning, afternoon, either—that you can work.

• Milwaukee Area Technical College
Volunteers are needed from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on February 22^nd to 24^th, March 1^st to 3^rd, March 8^th to 10^th, and March 15^th to 16^th. To volunteer, email David Weingrod at weingrod@sbcglobal.net. He can provide a parking pass if you park in the lot that is on the northwest corner of 8^th and State Street. Meet on the third floor of the S building.

On Friday, January 28^th, representatives of the Milwaukee County League of Women Voters and Supermarket Legends met with Assistant Superintendent Anthony Dodd, Sr., and Captain Brandon Hutchins at the Milwaukee County House of Correction (HOC) in Franklin to discuss the logistics of beginning a voter registration program there. The League and Legends brought flyers for distribution and copies of posters, which can be printed at the HOC and displayed prior to registration events.

The HOC is working to prevent Covid, requiring everyone to wear a mask and installing a special air-filtration system in the building. It has a 94% vaccination rate and currently only one case of Covid. Assisting jail residents to register to vote at the Milwaukee County House of Correction should be low risk for volunteers. The plan is for both organizations to recruit volunteers, who will first fill out a form for a background check and then participate in a one-hour volunteer training at the HOC. Registration events will include voter education and take place at least two times per month.

We need many volunteers for this major initiative to insure its success. Please contact Terri Lowder at tlowder996@gmail.com if you would like to participate. You will find this a very rewarding experience. Assistant Superintendent Dodd feels that if the jail residents are registered to vote, it helps with their rehabilitation to return to the community as fully engaged citizens.

We will be staffing our Voter Assistance Hotline to prepare for the April 5th election, and we need your help! Join our updated hotline training here — the training is offered twice, and you only need to attend one.

The Voter Assistance Hotline (608-336-3232) aims to make sure the voting process is as smooth as possible and reduce barriers to access by providing accurate and helpful answers to voters’ questions. The hotline is staffed for every election with volunteers and staff who are thoroughly trained on Wisconsin election law.

Please note: if you have completed prior hotline trainings with WisDems, welcome back! You DO need to attend the training again in order to work on the April 5th election, as some things have changed.  https://www.mobilize.us/dpw/event/437001/
