Fight the Marshall/Newman Amendment – Thursday night phonebanking in Tysons Corner

July 15th, 2006 Equality Fairfax No comments
August 3, 2006
6:00 pmto8:00 pm

volunteerEducating voters about the discriminatory Marshall/Newman amendment is the most important work we can do. We’re finding people are grateful to know the amendment will be on the ballot in November. And once we have an opportunity to explain the full impact of the amendment, they generally do not like it.

Join us for 30, 60 or 90 minutes to make some calls and talk with voters. Training, coaching, food and team spirit provided!

Just pop-in unannounced or let us know to expect you by emailing volunteer@equalityfairfax.org.

Arrive at whatever time suits your schedule.
