49 days until Nov 5th and there is still time to impact both local and federal elections. Let’s put in some time so no regrets that we should have done more once the ballots are counted!

In WA it’s all about “No on 2117”! More info below for canvassing & phone banking going on now, and scheduled out for the coming weeks. There are shifts you can sign up for this weekend, and a “BIG” phone banking shift on September 28th. Click for multiple volunteer opportunities. Scroll down for more “No on 2117” updates/info.

Nationally, Climate Reality is planning a texting campaign to GET OUT THE VOTE, called Turn Out for Tomorrow. They will start texting voters in October. More to come, but please sign up to text bank so that you get the latest info. In the meantime, you can text or otherwise share www.vote.org with any family or friends who want to register to vote in ANY state in just 2 minutes.

Lastly, join former Vice President Al Gore and The Climate Reality Project for a special online leadership training October 17th–23rd and learn how you can use the energy for change to take back our democracy and build a thriving clean energy future for America.

MORE on No on I-2117

We had a great Q3 Climate Reality call with a focus on No on I-2117 and an excellent guest, Carl Frank, from the “No on I-2117” campaign. The campaign is shifting to phone banking, and door knocking, but there are other ways to help (e.g. Administrative help in the office on Queen Anne). Carl says he can find something you’re comfortable doing, and emphasized you will have an impact!! Click here to sign up to volunteer.

Phone banking is something you can do from home, and a way for the campaign to pre-identify supporters so they don’t have to be contacted with a door knock later on. Did you work on the 1631 campaign back in the day? If so, you know what needs to happen! This is going to be close, and every bit of help is needed. The Seattle Times has endorsed No on 2117 (as well as BP, Amazon, & MicroSoft). Tell your friends, get a yard sign, let’s do this!!!
