ACT NOW voter registration drive, August 16th

ACT NOW who already held a Staten Island voter registration drive on August 2 is stepping up for another voter registration effort to help flip this seat. I don't see what neighborhoods they are going into but from their explanation it looks like they are venturing deeper than the Democratic North Shore, which is great news for us;


Meet promptly at 9:45 AM in front of the news stand located up the main escalator, past security and on the right hand side of the hall. If you have a clipboard please bring it - if you don’t, we will have some extras. If you’d prefer to meet us in Staten Island just let us know in the comments section. We will be back in Manhattan by 4PM, but if you need to leave earlier, that’s no problem.

The ferry ride is free, but you will need a Metrocard with two rides for the bus we’ll be taking to/from the canvassing turf.


To RSVP and get more details visit their sign up page. Again this is a non candidate specific effort, so regardless of whom you support in the primary you can come out and register new voters that will help us win this seat in November.

ACT NOW holding voter registration drive in Staten Island, Aug 2

from an email announcement;


Join ACT NOW next Saturday, August 2nd, as we hit Staten Island to do voter registration and help turn New York City's one remaining Republican-held congressional seat blue! That's right, it's a competitive congressional race and it's only a ferry ride away!

With Vito Fossella out, and the local GOP in disarray, Democrats have a chance for the first time in sixteen years to take this seat. By starting our work on the ground now, we’ll ensure Democratic victory in November. Can you join us on August 2nd?


You can RSVP here. This is a non candidate specific voter registration drive. If you are available I highly recommend joining their efforts.
