Talk to 5 Friends about the November 3 Election
Sponsored by the PVA Executive Committee, pva@pva-nm.org
The issue
It’s important that we vote, but it’s also important that we advocate for candidates we believe in. This kind of advocacy is at the heart of the democratic process, and often a friend’s recommendation has tremendous influence on how we vote, especially in municipal elections.
These races will be won or lost by a very small number of votes. You can make a world of difference by talking to some of your friends who might not know who to vote for or where to vote.
What we are asking
The Unified Action this month is simple. To participate, you contact five friends and urge them to vote for the candidate or candidates you believe are most qualified to lead Las Cruces at this time.
Ideally, these are people who may not have made a decision and for whom your recommendation could make a difference.
