2016 Metro Detroit A. Philp Randolph GOTV Report

President Jerry King Treasurer Roc Ceirs

2016 GOTV Campaign Metro Detroit Our 2016 GOTV Campaign started with the launch of our website Voter

Education Network, http://votereducationnetwork.org/ and our supporting

Facebook page, www.facebook.com/VoterEducationNetwork/?fref=ts.

Our chapter launched a Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/MDAPRI/, and an Action Network organizing

website database, https://actionnetwork.org/groups/metro-detroit-a-philip-randolph-institute, to document and

make our work public during this GOTV cycle. Links to these tools are provided below and access to a private

training Facebook account, for guidance and informational purposes, is available to APRI National, Regional, and

State leadership.

GOTV Activities Summary We work to incorporate a nonpartisan GOTV when

interacting with the community. Our record of events

and activities are documented on a time line and

recorded, when possible, and available below in the

added links.

Our GOTV Campaign was built around phone banking

within a radius surrounding partner locations in Detroit

districts 2, 4, 5, and 6. These locations consisted of 3

churches and 2 community center locations in Detroit

which were Hartford-District 2, King Solomon- District

5, Liberty Temple-District 2, Clark Park District 6 and

MASH Detroit-District 4. Attached is a full report on the

results of our phone banking campaign from Michigan

Voices. We utilized virtual and manual approaches to

phone banking and we combined a 20,700 piece literature distribution in these areas.

The door hangers and posters replicated our phone banking script.

We conducted traditional phone banking with cell phones provided by State Voices and with new technology to convey

phone calls via VOIP, voice over IP. Five virtual phone banks were constructed with new computer hardware called

Raspberry PI 3. Phone Banking stations were fashioned with these mini computers at a nominal cost of $200 per station

and Voice over IP programming software was worked out by the end of the 2016 election.

The results are as follows:

121 voter registrations

24 absentee ballots

6535 total phone bank attempts, 1129 total canvased, 1617 total messages left for a contact rate of 17%

11,500 contacts reached of our GOTV campaign social media postings. Supporting data is attached in PDF tiled

20,700 piece literature drop in phone bank campaign communities

26 rides to the polls

We incorporated tools provided by the AFL-CIO Common Sense Economics training and education program into our

onsite and social media GOTV program. This program was created by union members and progressive allies to educate

working people on how actions and policies impact our economy.
