Fun fact: telling you that only 11% of overseas voters returned a ballot last cycle, compared to 76% back home, is a form of social pressure. (See what we did there?)

Next Tuesday, we are going to cover exactly that with the Ten Tuesdays to GOTV crew: how social pressure works as a GOTV tool and how to use it in your own outreach. RSVP here: https://bit.ly/TenTues15Sept

30 minutes. No experience needed. Come learn with us, and then take action to put your knowledge to work to turn out the vote!
