(CINCINNATI/COLUMBUS, OHIO 10/28/2021) — On Wednesday, Oct. 27, the Ohio Chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Ohio) held non-partisan phone banking events in Columbus and Cincinnati to turn out voters for the November 2nd General Election.
Volunteers gathered at CAIR-Ohio’s office in Hilliard, Ohio, as well as at the Islamic Center of Greater Cincinnati in West Chester, Ohio. Volunteers called community members to remind them of the upcoming election and to assist them with information on where and how they can vote.
CAIR-Ohio staff members trained volunteers on an easy-to-use phone banking software “ThruTalk” and provided pizza, drinks, and support throughout the night.
“As turnout is low in odd-year elections, it’s important to mobilize voters, especially Muslim voters, and let them know that local elections are just as important, if not more so,” said CAIR-Ohio Policy Director Tala Dahbour.
