Get Out the Vote (GOTV) Training
Did you know:
* All 124 state house representatives will face a Democratic challenger in November
* “Deep red districts” have swung to the left by double digits. A majority of those swings have also resulted in flipped seats.
* South Carolina has a high number of eligible voters who stay at home.
We’ve seen what happens when folks just “sit it out.” We are all living through the consequences of low voter turnout at every level of our government.
A lot of folks are frustrated with where things are headed. This training is about turning that frustration into something that actually moves the needle. Whether you’re brand new to civic engagement or already involved, you’ll walk away with the tools, confidence, and support to make a real impact.
We will provide you with an overview of the GCDP Neighborhood Outreach Volunteer Advocate program, our 2026 GOTV strategy, and how you can help. Together, we’ll dive into practical, people-first strategies for reaching voters, having real conversations, and breaking down barriers to participation.
This isn’t just a training—it’s a moment to step forward. To stand up for a democracy that works for everyone. To be part of a movement that’s rooted in hope, fueled by action, and driven by people like you.
Let’s do that work together—with energy, with purpose, and with the kind of courage that moves communities forward.
**NOTE** While we will discuss some specifics to Greenville County, this training is open to Democrats and progressives across the Upstate.

ICE Verifier Training (Berea - Greenville)
TRAINING provided by GVL Rapid Response Hotline
Follow on Instagram here. Follow on Facebook here.
NOTE: Registration is required here.
Help our targeted neighbors feel safe and supported—become a critical part of a rapid response network! Get trained to head out in the field to help verify ICE sightings in Upstate SC.
Now through February, the GVL Rapid Response Hotline is hosting 7 verifier trainings for community members who want to stand with and support our immigrant community. No prior experience necessary!
Based on a model that’s been very successful in NC, we aim to hold ICE accountable and stop racial profiling. Their policing theatrics are intimidating, cause chaos, and create fear in immigrant communities. They are purposely sowing distrust, and the individuals in this agency are not following the law nor due process.
FAQs
What are the requirements for someone to be a verifier? You should have your own transportation, attend at least one in-person training, and be comfortable speaking with ICE if approached.
Why aren’t you providing an address? How will I know where to go for the training? For security purposes, we will email the address to you after you register.
IMPORTANT
Exact location will be emailed once registration is complete.
All information entered into the form will be kept strictly confidential.
The trainers are a small group of volunteers, so please be patient and know they will be in touch as soon as possible with next steps.
