Help Engage New Volunteers and Forge New Community Connections! Do you want to help grow Florida LGBTQ+ people power and connect with other members of the community? Pride month is here, and that means we’re recruiting more volunteers than any other time of the year. That means we need dedicated volunteers like you to help ensure these new volunteers are plugged into the work! We will be calling newly registered volunteers and helping them navigate their journey as a volunteer. Since phone banking is vital to the growth of any movement, this is an excellent chance not only to meet like-minded peers and build queer people power, but also develop valuable skills for activist work. We will be providing free food and drinks!! Don't have experience phonebanking? No problem! Whether you're a veteran phone banker or have never tried it, we NEED your help! We will provide training for inexperienced phone bankers to ensure you start making calls with confidence!

Want to help advance the movement for LGBTQ+ and all other marginalized communities in Florida?! Join us for this Virtual Phone Bank opportunity, where we will be engaging with Equality Florida Volunteers - New and Experienced - either thanking them for their hard work, providing them with opportunities to take action, or inviting them to a fun get together! Grassroots Organizing is the KEY to success in Advocacy. People WANT to engage, but they need that extra push, that helping hand - and you can be just that. By engaging with other volunteers, and activating them to take action, we will continue to build upon our movement of Queer and Allied people power so that we can better fight for our communities! Join us when you can, from the comfort of your home!
