About
### Ready to do the work that actually works while supporting students? In 2024, our face-to-face voter registration model achieved a massive 79% voter turnout among the Texans we registered. We aren't just hoping for change—we have the blueprint to create it. Join us at this **Back to School** community event at WJ Turner Elementary! We are showing up to talk to families, spark personal conversations, and build lasting progressive power through relational organizing. At this event, we will: - Engage directly with existing and potential student voters - Register eligible voters on the spot - Connect with voters using **Reach**, our relational organizing tool, so we can personally stay in touch with them all the way to Election Day ### Voter Registrar Requirements - **All volunteers are welcome!** There are plenty of vital roles for everyone, _whether you are certified or not_. - **Important Note**: If you want to physically register voters at this event, you **MUST** be a certified Volunteer Deputy Registrar (VDR) in at least **Tarrant County**. Bonus if you're certified in surrounding counties. - _Not certified yet?_ Don't worry! You can get certified ahead of time by signing up for our [VDR Training](https://www.mobilize.us/poweredxpeople/event/908495/). ### Shift Schedule & Flow To ensure a smooth and high-impact day, we ask all volunteers to arrive **15 minutes before the event starts** for our team huddle. Here is what to expect during your shift: - **[12:30-1:00pm]: Setup & Team Huddle** | Arrive early to grab your materials, meet the team, and align on our goals before the crowd gathers. - **[1:00pm-6:00pm] Voter Registration & Mobilization** | The main event! We hit the ground running, register voters, and get folks set up on Reach! - **[6:00-6:30pm]: Takedown & Post-Event Debrief** | We will pack up our gear, tally our total registrations, celebrate our wins, and talk about next steps ### How to Prepare Before you arrive, please make sure you attend our **[mandatory online volunteer training](https://www.mobilize.us/poweredxpeople/event/908390/)** on Zoom. This training will get you fully up to speed on the flow of our events and teach you exactly how to navigate the Reach app. ### Where to Meet & Park - **Meeting Location**: TBD - **Volunteer Parking**: Details to come ### What to Bring To set yourself up for a successful shift, please bring the following items: - Your fully charged smartphone with the Reach app already installed(a battery pack is a plus) - A water bottle to stay hydrated - Comfortable shoes - **If you are a VDR**: Please bring your VDR certificate/number for the counties where you have VDR reciprocity _Note: Clipboards, pens, voter registration forms, and all other necessary materials will be provided at the check-in table, but feel free to bring your own backup supplies just in case!_ Let's keep building on our momentum and ensure every family counts.
