Get out  the vote
Hit the Phones!
Volunteers will be hitting the phones every day and night until November 7, calling the friendly voters of Oregon to remind them, well, um, to VOTE! Email Alex to join in.
Walk Your Block!
If you haven't done so already, now is the time to walk your apartment building or block. Build community one knock at a time; remind your neighbors that you value their votes.
Hit the Streets!
Are you in Portland and ichin' for an Action Day? We'll raid the coffee shops and brunch joints on Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 4 & 5), handing out our über-hip and handy ballot measure guides. Give us a call at 503-233-3018 or email us to sign up.
