Text-banking for 2 orgs: Red2Blue which has you go through a training, send controlled texts at specific times in a moderated slack channel for specific areas or candidates, and reviews your texts each day. Also these lists are small because they are for a specific candidate or a county or something similar.
Then for When We All Vote, which does not give you training, does not limit how many you text, has HUGE lists of all registered voters, has no means that I can see to ask a live person questions while you are texting, and also from what I can see offers no feedback on the texts you send. For this to be Michelle Obama's group and have so little oversight is really bad.
So sorry to hear the news about JZ's dad's house.
I'm so sorry David. that's just.. this year just sucks.
I"m so sorry for JZ. On top of everything else this year, this is just too much.
JZ, David, I'm so sorry. That's heartbreaking.
Jacqueline, David, and family, I am so sorry this happened to you.
I'm so sorry about the fire, JZ and Hec.
JZ and her brothers just had a conference call. The insurance has good coverage for the house, surrounding property and items inside.
So they will probably just fix the roof, strip down the inside and sell the property as is. The view and surrounding property is extremely desirable (you can see SF, the entire Bay and both bridges), so some rich tech dude sitting on a pile of money will probably snap it up as a project.
Not ideal, and a headache, but maybe not a big financial loss.
Let's be thankful for whatever small mercies come to us in difficult times.
Also someone might see an ideal opportunity to pick out their dream house details.
All my sympathies to the House of Zmayhem.
