    North Carolina Abortion Rights Interfaith Phone Bank

    Join Side With Love, UU Justice NC, Pro-Choice North Carolina, and Carolina Jews for Justice for this three-part phonebank series calling North Carolina voters. The future of abortion access in North Carolina is on the line this election! Even though there isn't a ballot initiative, abortion is absolutely on the ballot in NC, because those we elect will either defend and advance abortion access, or keep banning it. People of faith are coming together to send a powerful message that reproductive rights are aligned with our values, so let's get on the phones and turn out pro-abortion voters this fall!  You can sign up for one, two, or all three phone bank events!

    WNC Votes Coalition Canvassing Event

    WNC Votes

    It's easy. It's effective. And it's fun!

    Throughout the summer, we will be talking with voters in different neighborhoods in Buncombe County about voting and issues that matter to them. Join us in Fairview! Please register here.

    This type of nonpartisan canvassing is one of the most successful ways of increasing turnout among sporadic voters. How? It’s based on what’s called deep canvassing — a way of engaging in longer, more voter-centered conversations that build on voters’ feelings that their votes matter.

    Every WNC Votes canvass includes a thorough training and practice time, and canvassers work in teams of two. First-timers are always welcome and find it easy to canvass with a buddy. Nonpartisan canvassing in pairs is as easy and rewarding as it is effective. We'll provide everything you need—training, voter lists, voting info materials, water and snacks—and we'll pair you up with a partner.
