The Democratic Volunteer Center says: "A phone bank is a coordinated effort by a campaign to talk with voters, using official state and local voter lists to decide who to call.
"We make calls:
- To encourage people to register, complete ballots, and vote for Democrats.
- To find volunteers.
- But especially to gather data for future action."

The Democratic Volunteer Center says: "Texting is a great way to reach thousands of people in just one text bank, and it’s especially effective with young voters. For most events, trainings are offered on a Zoom call.
"You won’t be texting from your mobile phone; instead, you’ll use an app on your laptop or desktop computer to more easily send and respond to texts. This also prevents people from seeing your personal phone number."
