Elana & Elena's Blog - Archived Entry

Elana/Elena:

Why am I taking a trip? Bush et al do not represent us or what we think is in the best interest of our country and the world. We think it's important to engage in the democratic process and we think it's important to help engage those who may have been disenfranchised, particularly by the current administration.

Lives in: New York, NY Going to: Pennsylvania, Tennessee (and more?)

About me: Elana: I work for a nonprofit. Elena: I work in the library of a public schools complex..

Kerry Us to Victory a Huge Success - September 27, 2004

Tonight we ran the second training along with Kerry Village, New Democratic Majority and Women for Kerry. Thanks to the Tank for lending us their space. Elena and I did the ever-popular basics of voter registration training. Julie led the building confidence in Kerry workshop and Michael provided essential details about canvassing. 75 people came! Overall, people were excited and energized to help convince people to get out there and vote, and hopefully vote for Kerry. It is inspiring to have so many people turn out to learn how to encourage others to vote.

We will be doing another training Tuesday October 12th, location TBA. There are many upcoming events to participate in. This weekend is the last weekend for voter registration in PA. If you are interested in joining Driving Votes this weekend email Kansas@drivingvotes.org. After this weekend we will be focusing on phone banking and get out the vote efforts. Check out the ride board for a listing of trips from NYC. Also check out the Kerry Village sight or NYC Swingers for upcoming trips from NY.

It’s not too late. This election isn’t over. Get involved, take a trip, make a phone call to a friend, every little effort helps.
