I was placed in a breakout room where we texted residents in ohio to remind them of early voting. We actually finished the whole campaign in a couple of minutes.

I'm an experienced texter, but there weren't any breakout rooms today, so I mostly just listened to the zoom, while sending and replying to messages to residents in Texas.

I already attended one of these events before, so I mostly spent my time writing postcards. However, I did forget some of the information, so while writing postcards I was still listening in to make sure that I wrote an impactful and positive postcard.

Since, I had already joined texting Tuesday last week and been trained I mostly spent the hour texting and responding to voters. I got a lot of responses! I stayed in the zoom though because I did have some questions, but other than that it was pretty fun!

We got training for how to get started with texting Tuesdays. We were instructed to download impactive, which is a third party app, so you're not texting from your personal phone number to make a difference for this year's election.

It was great we got to learn about the bvm bus tours and how ever since the affirmative action law has been taken away schools have been shutting down DEI's in schools. She also showed us examples of postcards and how people get motivated when you show them you care about their living experience. Overall, I would say it was informative and nice to know how our postcards impact the community.
