The Rabble | Texas Politics for the Unruly Mob

Only 6 more days until Election Day! AGH! Early voting ends Friday, please encourage everyone you know to vote early. Today we are talkin' about our two favorite things: democracy and snacks.

TODAY'S ACTION:

Have you ever heard of being a "poll concierge"? Becky hadn't, even though she'd done it before! It's a fancy phrase for "give the people in line to vote snacks and water so they don't leave before casting their vote," haha.

You can, of course, just do this on your own at your local polling place. But if you want to plug into something someone's already organizing, here are a couple of official volunteer opportunities in the Austin area:
Blue Action Dems: https://www.mobilize.us/blueactiondems/event/354990
Travis County Democratic Party: https://www.mobilize.us/traviscountydems/event/354328
See You at the Polls is organizing similar opportunities in Harris County: https://seeyouatthepoll.com/

So if you want to do a little walking in your neighborhood and you live in Travis County, consider printing out some copies of The Rabble's ballot shortcut and dropping them at apartment doors. Don't wanna print and walk? Text the guide link to friends who haven't voted yet! OR if you'd like us to pull you a list of people to text with the link, we can do that for ya, just DM us at @therabbletx on Instagram or Twitter or Facebook.
