  •  Building Coalitions to Amplify Actions

Calling for Democracy: 
Help ensure that every Arizona Voter can vote full ballot.
Tens of thousands of Arizonans are at risk of losing full voting rights after being placed on the Documentary Proof of Citizenship (DPOC) list, limiting them to Federal-only ballots. The League of Women Voters of Arizona has partnered with One Arizona to notify affected voters and help them check their registration status before the next election. We need YOUR help through phone banking.
 
Experienced phone bankers: After you have registered, you will receive instructions and a link to get started. You can make calls on your own time (between 9 a.m. and 7 p.m.).
New or hesitant volunteers: Join one of our Community Phone Bank “office hours”. You’ll get step-by-step support from experienced members, and we’ll be on Zoom together as a team.
