 >  Hi Friends,
 > I’m having an amazing time out here in Houston! Right now, I'm focusing on 
 > registering voters and—even more importantly—making sure they actually get 
 > out to vote. I'm attaching a great way for you to support the organization I'm 
 > volunteering with to help boost voter turnout. It’s a 1:1 role where you get 
 > to connect directly with voters through either texting or phone banking. Let me 
 > know if you have any questions!

 >  Hello Melisse,
 > 
 > We have a major campaign kicking off this week to defend every
 > Texan’s right to vote. Powered by People is partnering
 > with the Texas Democratic Party (TDP) for a massive Vote by Mail
 > (VBM) application chase effort, and we need 100 volunteers to lead
 > the charge starting Thursday evening!
 > 
 > Here’s the plan:
 >    
 >    - The Mail: TDP is mailing official Vote by Mail applications to
 >    eligible Texas voters (65+ likely Democrats), which start
 >    landing in mailboxes this Friday.
 >    - The Chase: PxP is running text banks (the "chase") to guide
 >    voters step-by-step. With ongoing attacks on vote by mail, we
 >    are pushing voters to vote early in person if they
 >    can—and if they need to vote by mail,
 >    we’re helping them complete and return their
 >    application well ahead of the deadline.
 >    - 1:1 Voter Relationships: During our text exchange, we will ask
 >    permission to stay in touch 1:1 through Election Day so no voter
 >    gets left behind.
 > 
 > Shift Windows & Flexibility
 >    
 >    - Thursday, 9/10 (5:30 PM – 8:30 PM): Training & Text
 >    Bank Kickoff
 >    - Friday, 9/11 (11:00 AM – 1:00 PM): Live Text
 >    Banking (Text with Friends)
 >    - Saturday & Sunday (9/12 – 9/13): Ongoing Texting
 >    until Every Voter is Engaged
 > 
 > Flexible Participation Options:
 > 
 > You can join the live Zoom sessions to text alongside other
 > volunteers, or text on your own schedule once trained. If you can't
 > attend the live Thursday launch, a recording of the training will
 > be available so you can watch it and jump straight into texting on
 > Friday or over the weekend!
 > 
 > How It Works & FAQs
 >    
 >    - Texting Platform: We will be using Scale to Win for the
 >    initial set of texts (no Reach account required for texters).
 >    - Voter Relationship Handoffs: If a voter agrees to 1:1
 >    follow-ups through Election Day, our team handles adding them to
 >    Reach on the backend and assigning them to volunteers who have
 >    room.
 >    - Coverage Flexibility: If you go out of town or need to step
 >    away, you can release your remaining text replies in Scale to
 >    Win so another volunteer can seamlessly pick up the
 >    conversation.

 > No prior experience is necessary. We’ll also be active
 > in Slack in the # mail-and-chase channel to provide live and
 > asynchronous support every step of the way.

 > Let’s step up and make sure every single ballot counts!
