Here are some things to consider before hosting your own debate-watch party:
Where should a debate-watch party be held?
You can hold a debate-watch party almost anywhere there is a TV—your home, the local union office, a local pub or restaurant, or the veterans’ hall, for example.
What happens at a debate-watch party?
We want you to have a great time at your party! This is a great opportunity to build a cadre of volunteers to get out the vote. Engaging our members in the primary and general election effort must be a top priority. So use this opportunity to encourage your members to sign up to volunteer for our political mobilization program.
Who should come to a debate-watch party?
Invite other AFT members, and their families and friends, to come to the party. Use fliers, leaflets and email to encourage people to attend. Ask each person you invite to bring another AFT member along. Use your building representatives or stewards to distribute the fliers to members.
