We’re here to help you rally the people you know to vote. It can be hard to think of people we know in different contexts. We’ve put together a list of ideas to help you think of people you know from all parts of your life.
Once you’ve got a good idea of people to add, tap “add contact” to add them to your list in Rally. This tool will help you organize your list of people and what you’ll do to persuade and turn them out to vote.

We’re especially focusing on people who live in the state or district of the election you’re organizing for. If you aren’t sure, add them! We’ll check for everyone you add against the official record of registered of voters, which will tell us exactly which elections they are eligible to vote in.
