In 2020 we have an opportunity to oust Susan Collins and turn the Maine US Senate seat blue. Join other Amherst Democrats in a virtual phone bank with SwingLeft to call into Maine.

From SwingLeft:

It’s all very easy - no persuasion required – just listening to voter issues, identifying support for candidates, cleaning up the voter list, and helping voters with absentee balloting. For new volunteers, we’ll review the script and learn how to use the List Fixer dialer. Feedback from these calls will help the Maine Dems hone their anti-Collins messaging and have a stronger list for getting out the vote. Remember to have your laptop computer, phone and headphones handy to make calls!
