Take part in the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Power Hour Virtual Phone Bank, giving supporters like you the ability to encourage voters in the South get out the vote, recruit people to work the polls and to register to vote.
Using your own phone in your own home, the SPLC Power Hour Virtual Phone Bank will provide you with a complete script, the name and phone numbers of voters, and easy-to-follow instructions to record the results of your conversation.
We hope to see you as we continue our weekly Power Hour Virtual Phone Banks.
