Update: Nov 4, 2024
Thank you for being such a vital part of our team this year. Through the ups, downs, and every interaction—whether excited, anxious, or determined—your dedication has made this year a success.
While some of you may be busier than others, we all agree we could be busier! Reaching non-voters is tough and takes time, but we’re making progress. For those who have been with us just this season, we invite you to stay on year-round. Every local election, special election, and runoff is critical in building democratic momentum. With just 3-6 driving days a year, your ongoing support would be invaluable.
Important: Read this Thoroughly
Please read this three times. Research shows that most of us retain only 10-25% of what we read on screens, and every detail here is crucial. This email contains everything you need for Tuesday, so please make sure you don’t miss anything as you will be self serving all day Thursday.
1. Zoom Office Update: we will not have a Zoom office open for help on Tuesday.
- Any help you need on an ACTIVE RIDE (defined as accepted, in transit, completed) please use the message feature in the app only.
- It will be open from 11-3 pm CDT on Monday November 4 for assistance but we CAN NOT guarantee we can help everyone personally.
- Use the Volunteer Resource Center for materials to help you know what to do. There is a lot in there, like, app guide, the driver supply kit, app slide deck and video, etc. SERVE YOURSELF FULLY!!
2. APP UPDATE:
Our app’s back end is working smoothly, dispatching rides dynamically based on driver and rider locations. Maps from prebooked rides and drivers are now obsolete; the system auto-assigns rides, so stay tuned to your app and be ready.

3. Key Reminder: Every Driver Counts
The success of each voter’s ride depends on you. Even if a voter doesn’t get into your car, your availability ensures we can meet the demand.
4. Next Elections:
Happen in less than 3 weeks for runoffs across America. Watch your email and the Volunteer Resource Center to know if we need you again.
5. Checkered Flag Update:
