Spread The Vote! Here's what you need to know to do this well funded GOTV!

Hello Indivisibles!

A member of NEFL Indivisible (our coalition of 11 NEFL Indivisible Groups) went to the Spread the Vote training. Here's what he posted on Facebook for those of us who do not use that platform. We're looking for a couple people to take on a small campaign. Check it out and reply to Kat if you're interested:

This past Saturday Spread the Vote (STV) representative Kat Calvin (kat@spreadthevote.org) held a training and information session in Jacksonville. There she shared the following:

THE PROBLEM:
Mandatory voter ID is spreading, and many Americans lack photo IDs.
Currently there are:
34 Voter ID States
21 Million Eligible voters w/o Photo IDs
21 Strict Voter ID States

HOW IT WORKS:
STV sets up volunteer chapters in strict voter ID states to build partnerships and get IDs for local voters.
Starting a chapter in your area only requires 2-3 people willing to volunteer a few hours a week.

STEPS TO SPREAD THE VOTE:
Partner with local service orgs (partnering one on one, table events etc)
Get them IDs (documents, fees, transportation)
Voter Plan (education and GOTV)

Here's the thing, they seem well financed and are able to cover the cost of all the fees involved with making sure people get the appropriate IDs. Reimbursement occurs within 24 hours.

We are looking to setup chapter all across NE Florida and in need of Chapter leaders and volunteers.

A Spread The Vote NE Florida group has been created with detailed information and training materials.
