Phone banking and text banking with the ACLU empowers volunteers to contact voters to mobilize support for key civil rights and educate citizens about their voting rights. While the virtual phone bank is live, the ACLU of Indiana advocacy team will host 30-minute Zoom orientation/training sessions to help volunteers navigate how-to phone bank and answer questions. ACLU of Indiana phone banks are conducted remotely. No prior experience is necessary. You only need a phone, computer, and internet access to participate from the comfort of your home. You will use provided scripts to help voters register, inform them of what’s on their ballot or encourage them to turn out to the polls. Once trained, volunteers may make calls on their own schedule, while the phone bank link is active, (and so long as calls are made within the hours of 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time of person being called).

March to the Polls is a nonpartisan voting rights event through the Hoosier Voting Alliance taking place across Marion County. March routes will depart at 11:30 a.m. and arrive to a nearby vote center after a short walk. Marion County residents may participate at any location. Marches will take place rain or shine, except in the case of thunderstorms. Participants may bring posters or signs, but please be advised that these items must be left outside the polling location. Clothing, pins, or buttons that display a candidate’s name or party are also not allowed inside the polling location per election law. You must be registered to vote in Marion County and provide a photo ID in order to cast your ballot. Voter registration closes on October 5. Please verify your voter registration at IndianaVoters.com.
