Join Phone Force and help Lib Dems win!

Many of us here in France can make free phone calls to the UK. That’s why we’ve teamed up with LibDem campaigners there to help them by ringing voters and supporters, especially for by-elections. All you need is an internet connection to access the lists of phone numbers and you can join the regular sessions where callers work together or work independently.

For more information - see ‘How it Works’ below or contact Phone Force co-ordinator in France, Jenny Shorten at phoneforce@libdemsinfrance.org . Thank you.

In these days of video conferences, the LibDem campaign teams are using Zoom to bring people together whilst they make calls from the Party’s online database of phone numbers. Regular phone sessions (known as Maraphones) take place with Zoom meetings alongside, where you can join for much or as little time as you have to spare. Or you can work independently once you are set up on the system.

How to get involved

Step 1 Email the Phone Force Co-ordinator Jenny Shorten on phoneforce@libdemsinfrance.org to let her know you want to help.

Step 2 Watch out for the email from our technical support team with details of your ID and check it's working by logging in to the database system (known as Connect). If there are any queries, don't hesitate to get in touch with our co-ordinator.

Step 3 Once you have our login, you can either

  • Join a Zoom meeting to work at the same time as others on the current campaign or

  • Work independently using the links available on this page

Phone Force Co-ordinator in France, Jenny Shorten, says: “I’ve done loads of these sessions over the past couple of years and it’s a really great system. Ideally you have a phone by the side of your computer screen and once you’re ready to start ringing, you can get chatting. The list of numbers also has a script or suggested questions beside them and you fill in the answers as you go.
The sessions all have experienced hosts there to introduce you to the system if it’s your first time and help you with any questions. ”

If you have any queries, or would like to know when the next sessions are taking place, please get in touch with the project co-ordinator Jenny Shorten on phoneforce@libdemsinfrance.org

Thanks.
