JOIN A VOTING TEAM: Barbara Anderson lifted up on Sunday her experience with Hand in Hand's Get Out the Vote Conversation Training that she recently took, and she is inviting Keystone to also be part of this movement to make sure our friends, neighbors, and family vote this year. Barbara writes:
"Election 2020 is the most important one in our lifetime. Back on August 11th I engaged in a workshop with the organization Hand In Hand called Talk Out the Vote. We discussed many things including voter suppression - poll taxes and voter intimidation, Jim Crow Laws and yes, even the closing of polling locations. What was decided in this group was for each of us to organize a voting team.
"I'm coming to you Keystone to ask for your help. The goal is to contact 5-10 people - your families, friends, neighbors - to ask them what their plan is for voting this year. With Covid19, some may be afraid to get out personally and vote. We have 41 states where a person can vote early, either in person or by absentee ballot or mail-in. We talked about so much more, but what is needed now: anyone interested in being a part of this group, please reach out to me at gepreston(at)msn(dot)com to let me know your interest. I can fill you in on other things discussed and help you get started by practicing a few conversations together.
