We might have cracked the nut on how to do free texting! Instead of raising money to pay for expensive, easy to use texting software, we’re making texting available using slightly awkward, but still pretty easy technology. We’re calling it BYOP or Bring Your Own Phone. And it’s a GREAT new way to register new Dems in swing states and districts to hold the White House and Senate and flip the House in 2024 as well as win governorships and state legislatures in 2023!
If you already know how to text from your computer, you’re way ahead of the game!
You will need to set two things up on your computer before attending our BYOP Boot Camp.

- You need an ActionID. You may already have one if you phone or text banked with Field Team 6 in the past.
- You need texting software that allows you to send text messages directly from your computer, using your cell phone carrier’s plan.
When you have both items ready, please register for Boot Camp!
Step right up Thursdays at 3p PT! We’ll be registering new Democrats in WI, KY, LA, NC and VA. Let’s get Democrats elected up and down the ballot!
We will train you up and set you loose! If you are tech-challenged, you might want to sit this one out as we work out the kinks.
We’ll also be using Slack to communicate with our texters. If you already have a login to the Field Team 6 Slack Workspace, great! If not, we’ll give you the sign-up link during the text bank Boot Camp.
