1.  Phone Banks  
   OCSEA can generate a list of phone numbers for the members in your chapter to use during a phone bank. You can call your membership about Obama or about congressional or state races. OCSEA can also help you customize a script (PDF).
   
   For more information regarding phone banks, please contact your zone staff representative whose contact information is on the back of this flier. LEARN MORE

2.  PEOPLE drives
   Enclosed you will find a how-to flier (PDF) with information about starting a chapter PEOPLE drive. In addition, PEOPLE palm cards (PDF) are included that you can use to talk about what’s at stake in the election and why members should contribute to the PEOPLE PAC.

3.  Voter Registration/Early Voting
   OCSEA will be distributing lists of registered voters to the chapters, asking that unregistered members get registered to vote. In addition, you’ll find a flier in the packet on early voting (PDF) and its importance in making sure your vote counts. Both of these efforts can be coupled with local membership communications about issues and candidates that are important to the union.
   
   For more information about voter registration, please contact Richelle Denis at 800-266-5615 ext. 2608 or rdenis@ocsea.org.
