We designed a Block Captain flyer that discusses the project, and that lists the training and canvass schedule. We hope you can share this with other Democrats you know to help us recruit more Block Captains across our state: https://nebraskadem.wpenginepowered.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/NEDEMS_Block-Captain-1.pdf
We have a blog that you can send to friends also that explains the Block Captain program: https://nebraskadem.wpenginepowered.com/blog/angry-about-gop-tax-handout-to-the-rich-become-a-block-captain/
