Here’s a fun, easy way to help your Desi neighbors get to the polls. We will be targeting Desi Democrats that have not voted in this election. It’s a contactless way to leave valuable information on doors of voters who have not voted.
Literature drops(“Lit drops”) are contactless way to get information to voters. We will be dropping slate cards to encourage voters to vote. Minivan will update every day to identify voters who have not voted yet.
How To Lit Drop
Sign up here to get involved with your SAAVETX regional team https://forms.gle/gdUfAWib9UhUu2or9
Prepare your literature with a short handwritten note. Your team leader will provide you with postcards and an Election Info sheet as your lit. Once you have at least 50 pieces of lit ready, you can go “drop”.
Download the Mini-van app, create an action ID if you don’t already have one.
Enter the code we give you. This code tells the app to pull a specific demographic group that we have strategically identified to receive our literature.
Once you have entered the code, go to the top left corner and choose “maps” from the menu.
You’ll see a map with pins placed on the homes of the people we are targeting. These are the homes you will drop your literature at.
Proceed to the first address, tap the address on the app. You will see the names of each registered South Asian voter at that address with a circle to the left of their name. Click on a name, click on the red box at the top which reads “I Couldn’t Reach This Contact”.
Leave the lit wedged in the hinge of the door, stuck between two doors, or any other place where it will be noticed, preferably in a way that your handwritten note is visible. DO NOT PUT IT IN A MAILBOX, this is illegal. Once you’ve dropped your lit at that address, click the “Lit Dropped” option.
Proceed to the next address! Once you have finished for the day, do not log out, Logging out locks you out for a day.
