MIDTERM VOLUNTEER WEEKLY BULLETIN

This is the sixth issue of the Midterm Volunteer Weekly Bulletin! You are receiving this email because you expressed interest in MVCAN’s activities in support of key midterm races. We will continue to produce this bulletin every Wednesday through Election Day. The Bulletin will provide information about upcoming phone/text banks and door-to-door canvasses, along with training opportunities, and links for signing up for these events.

To turn out our voters this November, we must effectively reach out to our Latinx community.
