Aug. 30 Fired Up for Philly!
Fired up for Philly? Block Party Voter-Registration Extravaganza!
UPDATE 8 PM Friday Aug. 29th. This trip is now closed. If you would like to be notified of future trips, please email Jeanne@brooklynforbarack.org. We will have trips going every weekend between now and the election.
On Aug. 28th, Senator Obama issued a nationwide call to all his supporters to go out and register voters. Let’s answer his call on Saturday, August 30th, and help kick off of the last big voter-registration push before the PA deadline. We will travel by MegaBus to Philly where we will meet up with our Field Organizer and hit the block parties of NW Philly to do voter registration. (If you have difficulty walking and would like to be at a stationary location, we can arrange that.)
If you have a car and prefer to drive, please let me know where you live, and how many passengers you could take with you. If we have enough interest, we will have cars going as well as the Megabus group.
If you would like to stay and work over the weekend, let me know ASAP and I will put you in touch with someone who can arrange supporter housing for you.
UPDATE: FRIDAY AUG. 29th:
The 9:45 Megabus is now sold out, and the cars we have going are full. You can take the 10:30 BoltBus from 34th Street and 8th Avenue to 30th Street in Philly (www.boltbus.com) with the second group of volunteers, who will all travel to the meetup location in Philly together.
Please book the 8:30 Megabus return (www.megabus.com) from Philly, so that we can all travel to the bus together from the area where we’ll be working.
As soon as you reserve these buses, please contact me IMMEDIATELY with your name and cell phone number.
SECOND UPDATE: The BoltBus is now sold out. The remaining option is the 10 am Chinatown bus: www.todaysbus.com. The Megabus return at 8:30 may still be available; if not, pick a Today’s Bus return that works for you. If you are going via Chinatown bus, I MUST HAVE YOUR NAME, CELL PHONE NUMBER, AND EMAIL so I can contact you with information about the meetup location in Philly.
