Voter Assemblies
Tips for organizing a Voter Assembly:
1 - Pick a time and place. Ideal times for your Voter Assembly might be the right after first shift -- 5:00pm, or after an early dinner - 7:00pm. Ideal locations might include public buildings (town hall, city hall, libraries, state capitol buildings, etc), schools, community centers, or outdoor public squares. If you think you will need amplification (you probably will), get started on securing that as well. We are encouraging everyone to hold their Voter Assemblies on the evening of November 5, but if for some reason you need to hold your Assembly on the next day, that's ok. 2 - Begin to publicize your Voter Assembly. Let everyone know the details by listing your Voter Assembly on this website. Publicize the event in your community. Reach out to local civil rights, student, labor, community, and voting rights groups, in particular, to get them involved. 3 - You should plan on holding your Voter Assembly REGARDLESS of what happens on Election Day. Please take a look back at the Call to Action to refresh your memory about what this is all about: http://nomorestolenelections.org/call_to_action 4 - Finally, a word about these assemblies. We are calling them "Voter Assemblies" because it gets to the point: We are voters exercising our First Amendment Freedom of Assembly. Your local Voter Assembly could take any number of forms. It could be a public meeting, a forum, a rally, a march. The key thing to remember is that whatever type of assembly you organize, it should be made clear to all participants that the purpose is to come together, as a community, and to respond non-violently to the voting rights violations which have occurred in this election.
