Your texting request will be fulfilled by one of the volunteers from the texting team leads. If you would like to ask follow-up questions about your request please reach out to jasy@sunrisemovement.org. Share as much information about the subject of the texts.

Message Content
Please keep in mind that we pay per message segment. Segments are 150 characters in length, and a good rule of thumb is to limit initial messages to 2 segments, 3 at the most. *If you're texting about an event it's good to include time and date in initial message.* If you're not sure about the exact language, fill out this section with as much detail as possible so campaign creator can contact you with message drafts for approval.NOTE: DO NOT include a link in the initial message. Campaigns have higher response rates when links are not included in initial messages. If someone responds "yes" to your ask, you can send a link for registration HOWEVER if you are using your own volunteers you must make sure they stay on top of their replies or people responding "yes" may not know where to register for things in time. Contact Jasy Lata on Slack or email jasy@sunrisemovement.org if you have questions about Spoke strategies.

*
