We’re putting our training into action! On October 10, NCNW will host a National POWER UP Phone Banking Day. Every NCNW section’s goal is at least 1,000 voter contact calls and 100 doors knocked.

Imagine the collective impact when sections across the country are calling voters on the same day. Together we’ll educate voters, share important election information, encourage participation and show the power of coordinated NCNW action.

Who: NCNW Sections Nationwide
When: October 10, 17, 24 and 31

Mark your calendar, rally your section and let’s POWER UP.
