Blue Sapplings

Phonebanking

A string of recent polls have Bernie Sanders down as much as 30 points. Bernie doesn’t need to win, but if he doesn’t come within 5 points it will be really hard for his campaign to recover. Unless you live in Michigan, phone banking is the most important thing you can do. Seriously, if you haven’t phone banked yet, if you want Bernie Sanders to be the next president, consider taking a few hours today, tomorrow, and Tuesday to make as many calls as you can. We need thousands of people on the phones making sure turnout is as high as possible in Michigan, BERNIE NEEDS EVERY SINGLE VOTE.

Facebanking

Facebanking is a relatively new tool that allows you to send messages to friends of friends on Facebook, who like Bernie Sanders, and invite them vote on Tuesday. Be sure to send both a message and an event invite if you can, because a lot of messages get stuck in the “other” folder when you send it as a friend of a friend. So do everything you can to get those people’s attention, it might seem weird, it might not seem like much, but every little nudge to vote for Bernie is important! If you can message people in more states than just Michigan, but Michigan is INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT! CLICK HERE TO GET STARTED
