This committed and passionate volunteer army became a well-oiled machine, learning the intricacies of voter protection in different states, and methodically and meticulously working to make sure that every vote was counted.

They also realized the value of continuing this work and maintaining a talented, experienced volunteer team, ready to activate and deliver, whenever and wherever the need arises – today, this is VoPro Pros.

They conduct all work virtually, primarily in the form of calling, texting, and Internet research, and we communicate using both live and nonsimultaneous online tools. Members choose whether to sign up for on-going activities run with communications on Slack or our Rapid Response Network focused on stand alone/short term impactful actions.
