Step 1- Ask

"Step 1. Ask - "In 24 hours ask your three closest people. (These are people you would call at 3 AM for help, who would say 'Thank you for thinking of me,' who you know would 100% follow through.")

Share with them: "I'm a part of a grassroots 48-hour voter turnout movement, and we are committed to getting 80% turnout by the next election by each one of us asking 3 of our closest and most reliable people to partner with us, and commit to voting in the next election.

I wanted to know if you would be one of my 3 people? (If they say no, thank them for considering it and still ask them about registering, then move on to your next person.) If they say yes, ask: "Are you registered to vote? (If not, have them do it right then, in 3 minutes using their cell phone at www.vote1234.com.

If they say they're registered, ask them to go to the site and confirm that their information is correct to ensure they won't have challenges on election day."

Step 3- Accountability

Step 3. Accountability - Then say: "Once you vote, in person or by mail-in ballot, will you please send me a selfie, text, phone call, or email saying that you voted, and I'll send you mine too, creating accountability for both of us." (This is accountability partner  number 1.)

Step 2- Acknowledge

Step 2. Acknowledge - (After they finish:) "Thank them for getting registered or checking their information."

Step 4- Ask

Step 4. Ask Again - The final ask: "Are you willing to do the same process with your 3 closest people within 24 hours, at 12:34 pm whenever possible." (When they agree to participate, immediately ask them to share the names of 4 total people - their 3 main contacts plus 1 backup). Then you send them the 1st of 4 pre-written texts or emails from the www.vote1234.com website, that will remind them of the entire process. (These are your other 3 accountability partners. Which dramatically increases the odds of turnout.)

Why start at 12:34 pm? By synchronizing our efforts we amplify our impact. 12:34 pm will become synonymous with voter registration and our movement.

Once 1 person reaches 3 people in 24 hours, and that grassroots process is repeated 12 times, we will have reached over 500 thousand Americans in a month. It’s that easy with your help!
