Calling all Evanston, WY Dems! Precinct 1-1 has an opening! This is a crucial grassroots role for making a tangible and lasting impact beyond protesting. Pass this on to someone you know or reach out to us if you want your voice to be heard.

For the past several years, Uinta County Dems have volunteered to support the Fort Bridger Rendezvous by staffing one of the entrances. Now’s your chance to keep this tradition alive and to remind folks Uinta Dems are here for good.

Use this form to sign up for as many shifts as you are willing.

Sign-up period for this opportunity has closed. If you are still interested, please send us a note and we’ll get you in touch with the event’s volunteer coordinator.
