BYOP Textbanking – Register Dems in swing states! WI, KY, LA, NC, VA!

We might have cracked the nut on how to do free texting! Instead of raising money to pay for expensive, easy to use texting software, we’re making texting available using slightly awkward, but still pretty easy technology. We’re calling it BYOP or Bring Your Own Phone. And it’s a GREAT new way to register new Dems in swing states and districts to hold the White House and Senate and flip the House in 2024 as well as win governorships and state legislatures in 2023!

If you already know how to text from your computer, you’re way ahead of the game!

You will need to set two things up on your computer before attending our BYOP Boot Camp.

1. You need an ActionID. You may already have one if you phone or text banked with Field Team 6 in the past.
2. You need texting software that allows you to send text messages directly from your computer, using your cell phone carrier’s plan.

When you have both items ready, please register for Boot Camp!

Step right up Thursdays at 4p PT! We’ll be registering new Democrats in WI, KY, LA, NC and VA. Let’s get Democrats elected up and down the ballot!

We will train you up and set you loose! If you are tech-challenged, you might want to sit this one out as we work out the kinks.

We’ll also be using Slack to communicate with our texters. If you already have a login to the Field Team 6 Slack Workspace, great! If not, we’ll give you the sign-up link during the text bank Boot Camp.

About Field Team 6

Field Team 6 is a volunteer army on a simple mission: Register Democrats. Save the World. To help win the 2020 election, we registered 30,000 new Democrats – and helped register nearly 3 million total – in 11 key swing states including Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia. Our goals for 2021-2022 are to save the Senate and House majorities, to win races for Democrats up and down the ballot, and to do all this by registering women, young people, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, the disability community, veterans, and faith communities.

Together, we all just saved the world. Now it’s time to do it again!
