Get Involved Now

The primary election is just 12 days away! To ensure that friends of public education win on August 3 and move on to November’s general election, we need to ensure MEA members get out and Vote!

Phone Banks

Are you interested in volunteering your time to make calls to members about MEA’s recommended candidates? You can sign now by going to http://www.lsea.org/phonebank/ to schedule a time to make calls or contact your local UniServ office to schedule a time to make calls during their scheduled phone banking time.

If you volunteer to make calls to fellow MEA members, you will be provided with names, phone numbers and a scripted message specific to MEA candidates, with emphasis on the voting for Virg Bernero in the Governor’s race.

If you would like to make calls to voters on behalf of the Bernero Campaign from your own home, please contact Steve Ross, Field Director, at steveross1986@gmail.com, or call the Bernero campaign at 517.999.8696 or contact their Volunteer Coordinator at MichaelBerkowitz@votevirg.com. They will email a list of names and phone numbers to call along with a script and any other directions they may have.
