Vote Yes on 6 Virtual Phone Banking 

Call other voters in Massachusetts to share how a yes vote on Question 6 would dedicate funds from the existing state sales tax on sporting goods to protect and conserve water and nature—all without raising taxes. These 2-hour remote phone banks start at 6:00 pm with training and support via Zoom. Just bring your cell phone, no experience is necessary; training will be provided. Mass Audubon staff will lead the October 19 and October 29 phone banks.
