HERE'S WHY WE PHONE BANK: I had two amazing phone calls in Texas on the @AOC and @BetoORourke bank. One: an elderly Black woman tried to visit an early voting site this weekend and it was closed, so she thought voting was over. I told her what was up, gave her her polling place,
told her the requirements, and told her to back her car with her friend and go get it done. She woudn't have shown up without that call, and that call could be the difference between zero votes and 4-5 votes.
A few calls after that, I had a conversation in Spanish with someone who wasn't thinking about voting because it didn't matter in Texas. I convinced him to get out there because this year, TX was close, so if there's one election in TX to show up for, it was this one.
So now, he's gonna show up. The phonecall made that happen. Beto and AOC had about 2000 people on the phonebank tonight, and we all made 2.5 MILLION CALLS.
We're doing it again tomorrow, starting at 1pm Pacific/4pm Eastern. Go to https://poweredxpeople.org/ and sign up. I believe that we can flip Texas.
