Lowell Democracy School In Action

We’re still six weeks away from the Nov. 6 election, and we’ve already seen some amazing things. Bolstered by hard-working grassroots activists, Ayanna Pressley made history as the first African-American woman to be elected to Congress from Massachusetts. Progressive first-time candidates won races from western Mass., to Framingham, to Boston. And across the U.S., campaigns have won against the odds by mobilizing “low-propensity” voters, including immigrants and people of color.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, MIRA doesn’t endorse specific candidates. But we do believe passionately in educating and mobilizing voters. The ballot is one of our most powerful tools to effect change, and at this critical time in our country, we can’t afford not to use it.

From now until election day, MIRA will be organizing canvasses and phone banks to get out the immigrant vote. And we want to help YOU do the same.

You came to Democracy School, so we know you want to fight for change. Now let’s step it up: are you ready to organize your own canvasses and phone banks? Join us in collaboration with the MA Voter Table and Lowell Votes for a hands-on training on:
* Best practices for canvassing and phone-banking
* Key do’s and don’ts
* Effective messaging on the phone and at the door
* Planning and using miniVAN
At the end of the session, we’ll go canvassing together and put it all into practice.

Time is short to make an impact this year. Come get the training you need to become a leader in mobilizing voters for Nov. 6!
