Help Needed at Stand Up Nebraska Campaign

Your help is needed!

The Stand Up Nebraska Campaign efforts to reach out and find Nebraskans concerned about threats to our democracy has been successful. So successful, that it is now taxing the ability of the small core group of original volunteer leaders to keep up. Our initial efforts to find 200 folks in Scottsbluff/Gering, or 1,000 folks in Lincoln, who were willing to stand up and be publicly listed in newspaper ads was a challenge. But it was doable for our original small groups. And we did it! However, making the most of the possibilities presented by the growing list of 2,100+ open letter endorser, who are scattered all across Nebraska in over 140 cities and towns, is a challenge on a different level. It is just not practical to make the most of this opportunity with just our original small core of volunteer leaders. We need your help!

At the present time, the Stand Up Nebraska Campaign is “staffed” and funded entirely by volunteers like yourself. As much as is practical, we would like to keep it that way. That allows us to maximize what can accomplish with the resources we have available. But, there is work that needs to be done. We know that among the 2,100+ Defend Our Democracy open letter endorsers, there is a vast array of talent. We are hoping a some of you are willing, and able, to take another step forward and help us with some of the volunteer work that needs to be done. Below is a rough outline of some of areas for which we know we need help. There are obviously other areas of volunteer efforts that could be explored and developed. Much of the things for which we need help can be done remotely or right at home in your region. If you are interested in exploring how you might help, please drop us a note and give us an idea of your interests and skills.

Regional Outreach Contact Person and/or Organizer

We are finding more and more Nebraskans who are concerned about the threats to our democracy,. Establishing a connection with each other, beyond a database name and an occasional email, is critical to sustaining our involvement and making the most of our opportunities to make a difference. Some of us are naturally social beings and organizational inclined. Others, not so much so. We need people willing to put in the time and effort to reach out and establish a personal connection with the Nebraskans who have stepped forward and publicly endorsed our open letter to Congress. Motivating, sustaining and activating these concerned Nebraskans is the key to our success. That could a single contact person in a rural area or someone willing to make personal connections to a small subset of the 1,000+ concerned folks in an urban area. You could be one of these outreach contact/organizer persons.
