Upstairs of Med Spring Clinic 
3906 N Lamar
Austin, TX 78756
Join us for our team’s weekly phone bank!  Let me ease your fears now – every person you’ll be calling is someone who our data team has put on our list because they are likely supporters.  You’re statistically more likely to be eaten by a shark* than to get cussed out by someone you call during this phone bank. We will also have experienced phone bankers on site to help you every step of the way.  So come on down!  We’d love to have you!  And the campaign needs people with your spectacular wit and charisma!
*This is hyperbole. The author of this has no idea the statistical likelihood of getting eaten by a shark.
