Upthegrove for Land Commissioner – October 20, 2024

Posted on October 20, 2024

Hello Democrats! 

Thank you for your continued support in Dave’s race to be our next Lands Commissioner! We are 15 days away from the election, and we are running full speed ahead! 

We are reaching out with a couple of updates as well as a request for our Democratic allies across the state. 

First, a couple of updates:

Join us for our Zoom GOTV Kickoff tomorrow at 6pm. Click here to register now — space is limited! 

Yard Sign and Literature Pick-Up Locations  

For locations where you can pick up materials, scroll down to the bottom of the email depending on your location. There, you will find both locations and instructions for pick ups. If you have plans to knock doors, please be sure to grab some literature or print your own fliers!

Phone Banking  

We are phone banking on OpenVPB every day! Weekly training sessions are held on Thursdays at 6 pm and Sundays at 10 am. For those who have already been trained or familiar with OpenVPB, here is a link to the folder and relevant links and materials to get started on phonebanking for Dave!

General Involvement 

As always, to receive volunteer updates, folks can sign up at uptg.us/action. 

We are also requesting assistance in identifying events for the campaign! If your Democratic County Party Chapter is getting involved in direct voter contact or sign waving opportunities, we would be happy to plug those with our volunteer network!

As always, thank you for your continued involvement and support. Let’s win in November! 

All the best, 

Team Upthegrove
