SUMMARY:Volunteer Workbench Monday - Friday
DESCRIPTION:  \nVolunteer Workbench \nHave a little time to spare? Stop by the Kent Dems office and pull up a seat at the Volunteer Workbench! \nThis is a drop-in volunteer opportunity—no sign-up\, no special skills\, and no need to commit to a specific shift. Just come when you can and lend a hand. \nThe work will vary depending on what needs to get done. You might be folding pamphlets\, putting on stickers\, collating materials\, assembling yard signs\, preparing outreach materials\, or tackling another behind-the-scenes project. \nCome for 15 minutes\, an hour\, or stay awhile. There’s always something that needs doing\, and every little task helps keep Kent Dems moving! \nDaily | 10 AM–5 PM\nKent Dems Office \n

SUMMARY:Statewide Virtual Phone Bank for Equality - September/October
DESCRIPTION:Equality Michigan will be hosting phone banks to connect with voters across districts all over the state\, identifying and mobilizing Equality Voters who care about fairness\, inclusion\, and justice for all. \nThese phone banks are one of the most effective ways to build real momentum heading into the midterm elections. By having direct conversations\, we’re not only helping people get engaged early\, we’re also gathering critical information that will guide our strategy for the months ahead. \nThe data we collect now helps us understand which areas are energized\, where we need to focus more outreach\, and how to tailor our message to meet people where they are. This groundwork will be essential as we ramp up organizing and mobilization efforts for the midterm elections. \nWhether you’re a seasoned volunteer or brand new to phone banking\, we’ll provide all the training and tools you need. Every call makes a difference and every volunteer helps build the foundation for equality and progress! \nThis event is virtual but you will need: \nPlease have a laptop\, phone\, and headphones to utilize for each phone bank. We’ll provide all the training\, scripts\, and support you need to feel confident making calls. \nEvery volunteer\, every call\, and every conversation helps strengthen our movement for equality and progress. Join us bi-weekly and help us make a difference\, one call at a time!
