The Open Progress Turnout Troop is a diverse community of committed volunteers from across the country who are engaging with voters via person-to-person non-partisan text messages. Here’s some of the work we do:
Encourage citizens across the country, whether English or Spanish-speaking, to register to vote
Help voters request absentee or vote-by-mail ballots
Help voters find their polling locations
Repeating our successes in 2018 and 2019 reaching more than 2 million of these voters, Open Progress’ Turnout Troop is working in 2020 to reach over 10 million of these Millennials and Zoomers in 12 critical states including Florida, Ohio, and Michigan in partnership with Vote.org, the largest 501(c)(3) non-profit, non-partisan voting organization in America.
Our volunteers are trained by the best in order to create rich conversations with a better-informed electorate. Worried you don’t have time? Even just 2 hours a week will allow you reach thousands of people.
