Description: County-based organizations will form committees dedicated to continuous volunteer recruitment and training to expand the electoral integrity movement and its capabilities. Recruitment methods will include local speaking engagements before political, social, and civic organizations of all kinds; regularly scheduled public education events; information tabling at events hosted by other organizations; and volunteer recruitment announcements circulated by print media and by e-mail newsletters bearing live links to volunteer signup pages at local, regional, and national websites.
Volunteers will be cross-trained in a variety of skills necessary for a full-spectrum campaign to restore electoral integrity, such as conducting research and investigation, writing and producing informational materials, monitoring elections, conducting parallel elections, publicity, fundraising, public education and volunteer recruitment, and outreach and liaison with other organizations and civic constituencies.
The Alliance will help coordinate and promote these local and state recruitment and training activities by collecting best-practice methods from activists around the nation, and making these easily accessible at the national website; and by facilitating effective communications between regional Alliance affiliates via a national e-mail network.
