Greetings!
We're almost there! Tuesday, November 6th is just twelve days away. We've been working towards this day for 18 months, and now is the time to Get Out The Vote!
Your help of a few hours - or more! - on the phones or out door knocking can help get us where we need to be for Minnesota to Vote NO on these two harmful and unnecessary amendments. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Ralph Wyman
MUUSJA Director/Organizer

Get Out The Vote
 MN United for All Families is working to recruit 14,691 shifts across the state during our eight-day GOTV effort. That's a huge number, but very achievable!
Can UUs take 146 shifts? How about 292? More?! Join us, this will be the most rewarding and fun phase of the work! We'll be calling and knocking identified likely NO voters, so these will be folks who want to hear from us and support us.
Sign up with MN United:
GOTV Shifts day or evening,
every day Oct 30 - Nov 6.
Election day and pre-election weekend are high priority. Any time helps.

Vote No on Both!
Community Door Knock
Join Jewish Community Action, MUUSJA, Unity Church Unitarian and many other partners as we door knock together in diverse, multi-cultural teams. We'll talk face to face with voters living near the State Capitol in historically over looked communities about how the proposed constitutional amendments will be hurtful to so many.
Meet at the Christ Lutheran Church on Capitol Hill to be trained and take action in multilingual teams.
Please RSVP online.
For more information, contact Gabe Kravitz at JCA or call him at (651) 632-2184.
