We will be phonebanking to help notify and mobilize people to canvass for RCV this upcoming weekend. The meeting will be via Zoom and the calls will be made using your own phone combined with an online system using an internet browser. No experience is expected, we can show you how to do what you'll need.

Come learn from a Rank the Vote national organizer how to talk to someone about Ranked Choice Voting when you're in the field. We'll talk about best practices, and have opportunities for you to practice your state's pitch in a friendly environment. You'll also be able to ask any and all questions so as to ensure a positive canvassing experience.

FairVote Illinois will be at the Downtown Evanston Farmers' Market to raise awareness about ranked choice voting as well as to collect sign-ups to support the cause. We’d like to have you join us, or even stop by to just talk and learn more.

We’ll start off the day around 9:00am by meeting at the intersection of Maple Ave and University Pl. (NE corner of the Hilton Garden Inn/SE corner of Northshore University HealthSystem Research Institute). Feel free to join anytime until around noon; just look for our signs.

(Since this event is held outside, we will not go to the event if the weather looks bad. When this is the case, I will message all the people RSVPed to the event and make a post in the relevant Slack channel. Please feel free to call 607-339-5001 to confirm if none of these options are available to you.)

If you’ve never done canvassing or tabling before, never fear! It’s easy to get started and our experienced volunteers can show you the ropes. We’ll also have supplies (e.g. signup sheets, sample ballots, poster cards); just bring you!

Come join us as we canvass and spread the word in the 8th ward!

We'll be knocking on doors on Saturday morning to let people know that RCV will be on a referendum in Evanston this November.
