The progressive group MoveOn.org is partnering with Workers’ Voice, the AFL-CIO super PAC in a joint voter-outreach effort to help re-elect President Obama. In a memo released Tuesday, the groups called the effort an “unprecedented progressive alliance” to create a “massive volunteer corps will knock on millions of doors and make millions of phone calls by Election Day.”
Strategies outlined in the memo include:
Through our partnership we will make 1.5 million calls to volunteers to recruit them to sign up to reach out to voters. We have 14,000 worksite/canvass coordinators ready to implement this program and we are aiming to grow to 400,000 volunteers as the program ramps up.
To optimize volunteer effectiveness we will be employing and improving on the sophisticated organizing techniques our organizations have developed that allow us to incorporate lessons learned in real time into our canvassing and phone banking to make minute by minute adjustments to our targeting to maximize efficiency.
