Phone Banks Need You!
With just three weeks left before election day, one of the most efficient ways to reach out to Duval voters and help them make a plan to vote is the telephone. Turnout is the key to victory this November, so if you have time, join a phone bank. The Duval Dems have a virtual phone bank you can join from home any time you're free from 9 am to 7 pm. And every Saturday & Sunday, Hanna Moore is running Zoom-based group phone banks that are one of the secret treats of this campaign. Learn more at Dialing for Dems.

They will start on San Jose Blvd., ride through San Marco and end up at Friendship Fountain. Participants are invited to decorate their cars with signs addressing issues and supporting candidates.

Saturday, October 17 - Spirited Sign waving at JTB and A1A - 10 to noon.
For the past two weekends, BAM members have joined numerous other progressive groups in sign waving around our Beaches area. Last weekend's event on San Pablo (photo collage below) drew incredible support from passersby - not only lots of supportive honks, but two different gifts of water and a lemonade donation from Starbucks by a woman and her baby. Come join the fun and express yourself this weekend. The gathering spot is JTB and A1A just north of the JTB on-ramp. Some signs provided. Bring your own if possible, along with your mask.
