For Immediate Release: September 27, 2012

Charlottesville, VA: Calvin Maupin, pictured, is one of dozens of phone bankers for Virginia Organizing, a non-partisan organization encouraging civic participation across the state.

Maupin and other phone bankers are part of a statewide campaign to call eligible voters to inform them about new identification requirements at the polls this year.

Most recently, Virginia Organizing hosted phone bank activities as part of the National Day of Action in conjunction with the national group USAction Education Fund and their affiliates across the country. Virginia Organizing will continue with the phone bank project through Election Day and will also host events across the state to educate voters on the new voter ID laws to make sure every vote counts.

To schedule an interview with a phone banker, please contact Amanda Pohl at 804-337-1912 or amanda@virginia-organizing.org. More photos and video are available upon request. 

Virginia Organizing is a statewide grassroots organization that brings people together to create a more just Virginia.
