Arizona Advocacy Network Election Protection poll watcher training

Posted by AzBlueMeanie:

I noticed in the Arizona Daily Star's political events calendar this past Sunday that the Tea Party voter suppression organization True The Vote is planning a training in Tucson:

Nov. 3. Training for poll watchers. Two sessions: 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. at Metro Water Bldg., 6265 N. La Cañada Drive. Sign up at www.truethevote.org/volunteer or by calling 877-3230.

If you check the True The Vote web site and message boards, and local Arizona Tea Party web sites and mesage boards, you will probably find other trainings planned in Arizona as well.

You can protect voters against these Tea Party voter suppression efforts. The Arizona Advocacy Network has an Election Protection training coming up as well:

ON CAMPUS: Learn how to Protect Your Vote!
Help other voters who are harassed!

Bullies are organizing to harass college students and people of color at the polls to discourage them from voting.

Arizona Advocacy Network Foundation – Common Cause Education Fund -
Democracy-Civic Engagement Fellows are fighting back to protect the Wildcats Vote!

Learn about:
- ID requirements to vote in Arizona
- How to find your polling location
- What to do if harassed at the polling location
- How to help others cast their vote

9-10AM and 12-1PM Thursday November 1st
Social Sciences Building 332 University of Arizona Main Campus
1145 E South Campus, Tucson, AZ 85721

Sign-up at http://www.866OURVOTE.org/ to be a Poll Monitor
and help protect the vote.

You can learn more about the Election Protection Coalition at Election Protection · You Have the Right to Vote.

Thanks for the plug AZBlueMeanie. We also have a training at the offices of a partner organization, Border Action Network on November 1st at 5:45PM. That's three times to choose from and if you can't make one of those, we'll hold our last session by conf call on Nov 3 at NOON. Please sign up at 866OURVOTE.org and choose your training time and what shift you can volunteer. We're ready to protect Arizona voters for Free, Fair and Accessible Elections.
