Florida/Georgia Recount Actions

[executrix]

C&P from Indivisible:

Indivisibles,

Even though the election ended Tuesday, votes in key races across the country are still being counted. And the races for Florida Senate, Florida Governor, and Georgia Governor aren’t over yet.

Trump and his administration are working double-time to silence crucial votes, and we can’t let that happen now, or ever. We need to be sure that all ballots that were cast, including all vote-by-mail and provisional ballots, are counted. And volunteers are needed ASAP in these efforts.
Here’s how you can help.

It only takes a few minutes to sign up to make a difference in these crucial elections. No matter where you live, you can sign up to volunteer for Georgia ballot counts. Here’s the info:

What: Make calls to voters in Georgia to make sure their vote is counted!
Where: Wherever you are! You just need a computer and a phone to start making calls
When: TODAY! Monday, November 12 until 9:00pm ET
RSVP: Sign up here to make calls here and find detailed instructions here if you don’t have a login for OpenVPB (we promise, it’s easy!)

If you live in or near Florida, your support is needed there as well! Don’t live nearby? Forward this email to someone you know in Florida or a surrounding state, or share on Facebook or Twitter:

What: Volunteer for the Florida recount efforts (organizing, operations, data, and other skills needed!)
Where: Across the state of Florida
When: Wednesday, November 14 through Sunday, November 19, multiple shifts per day
RSVP: Sign up to volunteer with the Nelson for Senate campaign here

We need all hands on deck to make sure every vote is counted in these crucial races. So if you can, please sign up to volunteer. And forward this email to friends and family who may be able to volunteer in the coming days!

Together, we’ll make sure #EveryVoteCounts!

In solidarity,
The Indivisible Team

The sign up and other links have fallen out of this post in the copy and paste.

I'm sorry! I don't really understand the various ways messages get (or don't) get posted, and I know that if I forward an e-mail it includes my personal data which is Not Wanted on the Voyage.

ETA: here's the link to Open Virtual Phone Bank. https://www.openvpb.com/vpb_bycode/3A1FE2I-894016

Thanks.

FYI for future: when you copy-and-paste into an HTML box like the DW post interface, it strips out all formatting, including HTML links. You might want to try using the Rich Text tab in the post box (you could just post in the relevant portion of the email, not the part at the bottom that has the email address you're subscribed with, etc.).

Alternatively, you can C&P into the HTML box and just go back to the original email and right-click on the links and pick "Copy link address" and paste it in to the post at a relevant place (assuming you don't want to bother HTML coding), though N.B. it'll probably be a super-long link because it'll have a bunch of coding indicating the user got to the website through this particular email campaign. If you want a cleaner link, you probably have to click through to each link and then copy and paste the URL from the resolved browser window.

Excellent information, thank you! I'll bookmark it for next time.

Here's where to sign up for the Georgia phone banking: https://www.blackvotersmatterfund.org/phonebank

(I got there by searching on that Twitter hashtag, and haven't tried watching the video training or setting up an ID.)
