On Saturday, I put up a post called What We Can Do: 85 Days, 85 Things and asked you to help come up with a list of 85 things we can do for the 85 days that were left.
We are at 67 things you can do, and counting. Please help add some more to the list below!
In the meantime, we are highlighting SPLC Action Power Hours today. In the next post in this series, we will highlight Indivisible. If you are involved with an action organization you’d like to see highlighted, please let me know.

Southern Poverty Law Center Action Power Hours
It’s not too late to sign up for tonight’s Voting Rights Power Hour
The Voting Rights Act turned 55 last week, and to commemorate this landmark legislation, SPLC Action is launching a new program for our supporters to help get out the vote.
SPLC Action Power Hours allow supporters like you to volunteer your time to help protect voting rights and expand equitable access to the ballot.
During SPLC Action Power Hours, supporters will use our simple-to-navigate virtual phone bank platform to call voters in key states, sharing critical updates regarding their voter registration status and access to mail-in ballots, or providing information on important ballot initiatives.
Using your own phone in your own home, the virtual phone bank will provide you with a complete script, names and phone numbers of voters, and easy-to-follow instructions to record the results of your conversation.
For our first Power Hour, SPLC Action will commemorate the 55th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act by calling voters in Alabama to alert them to Alabama’s expanded absentee ballot access for anyone concerned about in-person voting during the COVID-19 pandemic.
They are asking for ONE HOUR OF YOUR TIME TODAY.
