What we're doing today.

CREDO Activists are working today to make sure every voter can cast a ballot that counts.

Here are a few things we're doing:

Offering all our customers free outbound calls during polling hours so they can phone bank their friends and family to get out the vote.

Helping voters find their polling place. Go to govote.org and find out where to vote and what to bring to the polls. You can even click a link to text your polling place address to your mobile phone.

Helping people who are volunteering to Get Out The Vote look up polling place for voters in the field. Just text pp street address zip to 69866 to get polling place sent to your mobile phone.

Sending GOTV text messages to hundreds of thousands of voters, including all of our mobile customers.

Sending out text message alerts to our members who are "on call" to protect the election as part of our CREDO Mobile Election Protection Text Network. You can join by clicking here and we'll send you a text message if there is an election protection emergency in your community. (We've already sent out alerts to members in Virginia).

Helping our members who we helped get hired as pollworkers to protect the election when they encounter problems at the polling place. Over 12,000 volunteered to help protect the election as pollworkers.

Calling our members in Colorado (no on 48) , California (no on 4 and 8) and South Dakota (no on 11) to remind them to vote to protect choice and defeat a ban on gay marriage.

Challenging other businesses to help get out the vote and stand up to protect the vote if the election is stolen. Read an editorial by CREDO's president, Michael Kieschnick, in the San Francisco Chronicle: How business can help insure a smooth election.
