TPAB Weekly Events – Defeat Trump & Protect the Vote

This weekend, we honor the memory of an American giant: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a trailblazer for women and steadfast defender of voting rights and our democracy. We will work double time to preserve Justice Ginsburg’s legacy through our work together.
We MUST win Pennsylvania to deny Donald Trump another term and more opportunities to appoint Supreme Court justices. And we MUST flip the PA General Assembly to protect voting rights and stop another Republican gerrymander.
Sign up to phone bank on weekdays to flip the PA House and weekends to flip the PA Senate.

And sign up to protect the vote on Election Day — in-person and remote opportunities available.

Today, we mourn. Tomorrow, we rise.

HELP WITH VOTER PROTECTION

• PA Dems Vote Pro Toolkit: Everything you need to know in one place!
• Join the Voter Protection Team by signing-up here (virtual and in-person opportunities)
• Vote-Early Monitors Needed Across PA: For the first time, PA’s voters will have the option to vote early in person! Voters will be able to vote at their county elections office by requesting, completing, and submitting a mail-in ballot all at the same time. As a Vote-Early Monitor, you’ll be the eyes and ears on the ground: observing how the process runs, educating voters, and reporting to the Voter Protection Team in real time. Next Training is scheduled for Sunday, October 4th. Sign up, get trained and find more info here.

LITERATURE DROPS

Some campaigns have started to do some limited canvassing and literature drops in a safe and socially distant way. We understand that due to COVID, this isn’t for everyone, but if you’re interested in getting outside, masking up and hitting the pavement to connect with voters,

let us know and we will connect you with a campaign.

ELECTION DAY HELP

TPAB is already planning for Election Day. Do you want to volunteer but are just not sure what you want to do?

Sign up here for updates about all the ways you can get involved to help protect the vote and turn PA blue!

Or, you can sign up directly with the PA Dems Voter Protection Team HERE.
