Hi, I’m Karen from the Silicon Valley in Northern California with the Democratic Volunteer Center. We have over 8000 members. We have a website and have an office that can accommodate 100 or more phone bankers. How do I get connected to the organizers of phone banks? I’ve been reaching out for a couple of days.

<@1271470683767181388> I’m looking to do a weekly phone bank with my neighbors targeting a swing state. but I’m not quiet ready to set up an event on Mobilize. Can you inform me what choices I have as far as what states I can target and whether we focus on voter registration vs volunteer recruitment vs GOTV


2024-08-20T22:18:54.555+00:00 by Karen Rivers - DVC [ karenriversdvc ] avatar

Andre, I created phone banking events via Mobilize. But couldn’t activate it because “we’re not a member of any organization on Mobilize.” Can you help?

Hi <@1273713003312713801> , your event wont be visible until you have a 1 on 1 with an organizer. We do this as a security precaution so we can prevent bad actors from staging events on mobilize. I just sent you an email with a link to book a 1 on 1 with the subject line: Hosting a phone bank event!

Hello. Holding my first in person phone bank tomorrow. Had my 1:1 last Friday. I’m nervous about training everyone for the platform. I was given a link to the landing page. Do I click that tomorrow night then send that link to my volunteers? Is there anything vols need to download?


2024-08-26T18:58:14.375+00:00 by Steva 🇺🇸💯💕 [ stevahardcastle ] avatar

Am I allowed to send volunteers the YouTube Scale to Win long form 2023 training video?


2024-08-26T19:11:30.057+00:00 by Andre [ andrem217 ] avatar

Hey Steva In the landing page there will be a second link which you copy and past to send to your phone bankers. Volunteers don't need to download anything, the link you pull out of the landing page runs through the browser. You can absolutely send the volunteers the training video.


2024-08-26T19:12:03.41+00:00 by Andre [ andrem217 ] avatar

Let me know if there are more questions, I am happy to help!


2024-08-26T19:14:09.852+00:00 by Steva 🇺🇸💯💕 [ stevahardcastle ] avatar

So all the information about zoom is not relevant to me. Honestly, I’m in tears trying to figure this out.


2024-08-26T19:16:14.52+00:00 by Steva 🇺🇸💯💕 [ stevahardcastle ] avatar

I’m fairly competent with digital stuff , but not this time around. Once I get it, then I’ll be fine and able to host again. I’m sorry, I know you are overwhelmed as well


2024-08-27T23:41:22.027+00:00 by Steva 🇺🇸💯💕 [ stevahardcastle ] avatar

It has come up at least 4 times with my volunteers. Maybe we could add that into the mix…. Send it up the chain! 😊

yes-- we are working on more talking points, it just takes some time


2024-08-29T14:17:55.173+00:00 by nicke1079 [ nicke1079 ] avatar

When hosting our own event do we make our own zoom link because it has a 40 minute time limit and to go further for a longer meeting you have to upgrade


2024-08-29T16:00:42.148+00:00 by Andre [ andrem217 ] avatar

We do not provide zoom meetings, you can try google meets if you dont want to be kicked off or just reinvite folks


2024-08-29T16:11:55.015+00:00 by Andre [ andrem217 ] avatar

I would also recommend asking your attendees if someone has a a premium account for when you schedule your next event and then using their account! It is a great way to get someone else feeling like a co-facilitator while also improving the the quality of the call

You can signup as the phonebank's host and add a co-host later. If you're looking for a co-host, try asking in the call team's channel.

Good morning! I'm supporting in-person/virtual phonebanks across TX this wkd (9/7-8). I was advised that the dialer links rotate often, so if any of my hosts need support, who/where is the best place to reach out? (I'll probably be on Discord, but it'd be great if I could direct other hosts somewhere to solve independently.)

She really wants to attend, so not sure where to go from here. Also, people are asking about parking at the rallies, do we have that info anywhere?

Hi <@878004392769490995> - Sorry for the late reply, Thanks so much for being an active volunteer. One of my fellow mods, who also registered voters in that area, found this site.

Thanks Phone Bank Hosts: A common host question is how to find the deck needed for a session. If someone cannot see Host Support, be sure they have host added as one of their roles. Ultimately, the Google Doc link is one you may have to be added to, so a Kamala's Captain will message you the deck link needed. KC is the phone bank leader team. Thanks. See example here: https://discord.com/channels/1242249109298221066/1245826306780823563/1288570394810384516

I was wondering about that. Thank you for clarifying <@1276944250491113656>. As far as finding polling place info, I would not mind doing that research, but I need an email to send it to, as it would be done outside of calling hours.

We send them to iwillvote.com which lets them find their local resource (registrar or clerk's office or however that area is structured)

Hello, I hosted an in person phonebank tonight. I had to cut off registration at 15 people a few days ago, but only 1 person showed up. I knew some people wouldn't actually show up, but has this type of drop off happened to other people? were people confused and thought it was virtual?

<@1287869697538129983> Thank you for hosting an in person phone bank. I am assuming you made it clear in your event description and title that the event was in person. I suspect that you are right about the misunderstanding. When you write the next description, think about in-person selling points (maybe snacks), supportive presence in the room and a small group of like minded people. If this is at a private residence, be sure to hide the address, so it only goes out to those who register. https://help.mobilize.us/en/articles/5857592-create-an-event-as-a-host

This was my first time hosting, so I just used everything that was already in Mobilize. These are all really good points and I will make these changes for the next one. Thank you for your insight!

@Sarah You can also call the day before your event. Just a quick call to say "Hi I'm looking forward to seeing you tommorow". That serves as a reminder and it's makes them more accountable. That will boost your attendance and give you a better idea who will be there. This method has been proven over the years. Good luck!!

Hi there! Tagging in <@1266879741785538682> as the expert - but speaking from my own similar experience, that's something the host would have to request/set up. (Easy to do, even from outside of Discord.) Have you been working with them already?

I received an email with my sign up link to email to prospective invitees, but when i sent it to myself to make sure the link was working properly, I get an error msg saying "This event is no longer available." Is that because the event is still awaiting approval? If so, why would I get an event link if the event hasn't even been approved. Apologies if this question has been answered previousl. I am new to discord and not too familiar with how to search/use it.

I think they need to sign up for an event first. I’m not seeing an option to upload a list. That’s why you can share the link.

What I’m saying is I don’t see anywhere to upload a list of email addresses to your event. I thought that was a question and that’s what I was answering. You can have your people sign up by sharing your link and then you can export or do anything you want with the contacts however I’m not seeing a spot where you can upload your email list to populate your event. I hope that’s what you were asking. Thanks!

oh, I see. so I have to email each attendee directly from my own personal email address and share the link that way? I thought I could import an email list to Mobilize and send one email to everyone at the same time.

Yes. You need to email your list and share the link. You still can send one email and blind copy everyone. I don’t see the option to upload a list and when I look it up it didn’t say that option was available. I’m looking up your event to see what I can do

I played with this and it looks like the events site will auto send emails to the emails on file when selecting the “email all guests” option. But that only works once they are enrolled. So for first contact to invite folks you know to register, must email directly from personal account. Later it looks like host can send emails to any registered but won’t see the email addresses as the system handles it for them. Does this seem about right <@871529274975334431>?

replying to 2024-10-06T18:33:53.891+00:00 by KBR Urgent help needed. My phone bank was supposed to start at 2pm and so far NO ONE has received a link to join including me and I am the the host. Can someone send link asap!

Have you logged onto your mobilized account? The link should be there. You can copy paste it or you can send an email out to everybody. I currently am not in front of my laptop or I’d send it to you ASAP.

Hi there! I'm gonna help you out while Quinn drives (safely). If you didn't find it, what's the name of the event (or the link to the event registration is even better) and I'll see if I can help you right now.

replying to 2024-10-06T16:50:45.893+00:00 by ✨Brooke✨ Hi! I’m in East TN and our city mayor has asked our local party to host swing state phone banking for Harris Walz but we only have access to our state VoteBuilder. How can we get a VPB list for others states, if at all?

Hi Brooke! Your group can register to host your own independent phone bank for Kamala and our team will provide you tools to be successful (how to access the dialer and such). Here's the sign up to register to host. You'll get an email for next steps from our team once your event is approved! https://events.democrats.org/c/hosts-for-harris-phone/event/create/?event_creation_source=discovery_page_no_commit

replying to 2024-10-06T16:10:43.398+00:00 by Laura. She/her Hi hosts. I am hosting an -in-person phone bank tomorrow for our local Indivisible. Last time we did this I used a landing page provided by the DVC. I still have access to the landing page, but want to be sure I am authorized to use it again. PB is tomorrow from 6:30-9:00 ET.

Hi Laura! Did you register the new date and time of this event? Once approved as a host (on first event), you can continue to schedule new events in Mobilize. Let me know if you need help with this!

Nope, <@957714233217409174> , the link I thought was my link for the phone bank in my Mobilze Dashboard was just the sign-up link.

So Mobilize does not create the Zoom link for you, you have to set up a Zoom event personally then enter the link into the event to be sent prior to all attendees. For today's event, the best way to handle this is to create a Zoom event link yourself and send it to the 3 people who are registered. Then, for future events, we can have one of our team members add that zoom link to your events from the back end so it will work for all future events. (You'll want to make the Zoom link a recurring one at this time essentially, so this will work).

Hi Felicity! Someone with permissions will come along soon I'm sure to help on this, but I believe these dialers are locked to everyone except HQ staff so that they don't get changed (they're used by a lot of people all day every day). I could be wrong, but that may be the case.

<@799760395161436181> -I think that the dialer software will allow screen enlargement and a screen reader because we work with multiple formats - Mac Windows. etc. Not speaking officially, just generally, since the volunteer is using their own system. Update: Hopefully, we can get their system with its accessibility features set to work, but if not, we can get them started with friend-banking which is a different interface.

Just spitballing here but my guess would be for her to join Dials from Dawn 'til Dusk. Am I right, Mods, or should I stay in my lane?

<@394759023251161088> I just saw a pinned comment in the <#1242256751445934262> page that gives instructions for the Dials from Dawn 'til Dusk campaign where you can make calls anytime. Perhaps you can steer your experienced phonebanker there?

The first is what KBR said about Dials from Dusk 'til Dawn at <#1242256751445934262> (we have more ways to do anytime calls coming soon, not sure we've announced yet). AND for the voter, they can call the voter hotline number at iwillvote.com to get answers to Qs like this.

Yes, I think we can do a final one night before. I'm doing one Sunday nt before election for sure. 🙂 We might just tweak the script ourselves for that final ask.

I'm not aware of any hashtags we're already using but # HostsForHarris and # H4H might be a good start! (I had to add spaces to stop including our own hosts channel tag).

it depends on how talkative or not the voters we are calling are--I would just focus more on the quality of the conversations your folks are having, rather than the number/person

Yes! You can see that info on the “List Schedule” tab in the trackable dialer spreadsheet. It looks just like the old dialer hub just without STW links.

Hi <@1266028248706322492> some low-vision volunteers have been able to use screen readers, but it is clunky. Staff are aware of this barrier and are hoping to connect to address this. We have several accessibility specialists who have volunteered to assist, but at this time, we do not have a great solution.

To help facilitate a better experience around list switches me and other members of staff will begin using this channel to communicate with any of you who may be hosting events at that time.

I always say to compare P25 plan side-by-side to see that they are virtually identical except Trump's is even more strict/stringent. For your own reference and fact-checking on this so you can cite these sources:

Hello--Mobilize has the option of clicking on a registered name in an event list to see what else they've signed up for. This is helpful when we have to scrub a signup (reasons include: fake one, decided to opt out, etc.). This feature is not enabled on the DNC events; is there a way someone could do so? We had 0ver 800 signups for our phone bank last night, so you can imagine the amount we are dealing with between now and Nov 5!
