TEXT VOTERS WITH INDIMARIN
Welcome, texting veterans and newbies alike! We work in partnership with like-minded orgs and campaigns to help elect Dems, and we’ll be texting hard to achieve the critical trifecta – White House, Senate, and House - in 2024.
Why Text?
Join us because no other tool offers such capacity to reach voters. In less than an hour, a single texter can send hundreds of messages. And while only some engage with replies, research shows that 90+% of initial outgoing messages are read. That gives us a huge reach!
New Texters
No worries if you’ve never texted voters before! We offer virtual one-on-one mentoring to get you up and running. NOW is an excellent time to get proficient with the tools and apps commonly used, before the earnest electoral work begins.
Is Texting the Right Fit for Me?
- Do you have a computer or laptop?
- Are you able to easily switch between email, web browser, Zoom, and various apps on your computer?

experienced texters
Texting veterans are no doubt already plugged into well-known and established orgs such as Organize Everywhere, NextGen, and Movement Labs. However, a new opportunity has arisen with the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which works to elect Democrats to the US House.
The DCCC’s twice-weekly textbanks are already scheduled through early July; training and questions are handled on Zoom or Slack. Click below to register:
using slack
Our team uses Slack, a communication discussion board that texters use to share information about campaigns, After you have signed up to join the Texting Team, you’ll receive a welcome text from us and an invitation to join our Slack. We will help you learn how to use it if you are not familiar with it. Campaigns and organizations are just beginning to warm up for the long cycle ahead, and we expect to see more opportunities after Labor Day.
