DJs at the Polls – Help Remotely on Election Day

DJs at the Polls is one of the most effective GOTV programs among scores of programs that Focus for Democracy’s evaluation team has reviewed. On Election Day, the program will have Black DJs in 8,000 heavily Black precincts in the battleground states. Text messages going out this weekend and Monday will tell voters that there will be a DJ in their precinct. This program is proven by scientific testing to increase voting significantly in  those precincts.

DJs needs people who can work from their homes:

• Answering phones/emails/texts on Election Day – we will train people and provide them with answers to the most common questions
• Triaging – knowing when to elevate/pass an issue along
• Some knowledge of basic electioneering rules – or the ability to understand the basics of them once presented
• a level of comfort with Tech – we use a not-necessarily-intuitive dashboard in Airtable to manage calls
