SWOP homepageElection Notes - Carlsbad, Rio Rancho
Carlsbad, NM - SWOP's voter empowerment team (I just made that up) went back down to Carlsbad this last weekend and hooked up with the local NAACP chapter and community members to phone bank local voters.The phone bankers targeted 1300 voters from their list of 7000 for tomorrow's city elections.
Volunteers also hit the doors in 3 neighborhoods and passed out basic info to their neighbors.
Joaquin Lujan, who is taking on most of the organizing around this project, is headed back down to Carlsbad as this is going to post. He seemed optimistic about affecting tomorrow's turn out.
