Canvassing and Phone Banking
Postcards
We are creating postcards to send targeted messages to voters. Issues include reproductive rights, gerrymandering, environmental protections, and healthcare. We’ll provide the postcards, suggested messaging, and addresses of Athens County voters. We’re seeking volunteers to personalize and handwrite the messages and, if able, to donate postcard stamps. To get involved, contact Andrea Reik at areikathens@gmail.com.
Yard Signs
Sherrod Brown, Wenda Sheard and “Protect Women – Vote Democrat” signs are available. Pick up yard signs anytime our office is open!

Community Service
On August 10, we have a great opportunity to volunteer as a team for Bounty on the Bricks in uptown Athens. Reserve your spot now with janalees@gmail.com.
Here’s our crew from last year’s Bounty on the Bricks, raising funds to feed a very large number of folks facing hunger:
Community Education
This team is working with the canvassing team to develop a canvass packet for volunteers which will provide them with updates on current issues, as well as guidance on how to talk with voters. Reach out to Team Chair Kathy Kinsner at bigapplekk@aol.com to get involved; we’re always looking for writers and editors!
Voter Registration
The Voter Registration Team will be scheduling upcoming events for voter registration –– stay tuned! If interested in helping to register voters, contact Solveig Spjeldnes at solveigsp@gmail.com.

Community Events
Parade season has begun! We’re seeking volunteers to join the Athens Dems by walking in parades, representing at our booths, wearing Dems T-shirts (or a plain white or blue shirt), offering use of their vehicles for parades, bringing homemade signs to carry in parades, or carrying our usual Dems banner. To get involved, email Patrice Beard at apbeard11@gmail.com.
See the graphic below for a listing of upcoming parades and visit our Events page for additional information.
No time to volunteer but want to support the Athens Dems? Please consider making a donation.
