Once you've downloaded the Reach app, the next step is to access the Voter Action Pinellas campaign. It may be that the Voter Action Pinellas campaign appears on your screen in the Directory. If so, click the name to get in.
If the Voter Action Pinellas Campaign is not listed, then select the blue Browse Campaign Directory button.
You'll land on this page. Ignore the request for a Campaign Key; you don't need it. Instead, in the search bar type "Voter Action Pinellas."
Once you've typed "Voter Action Pinellas" in the search bar, the Voter Action Pinellas campaign should appear below. Once it does, click on it.
Once you're on the Voter Action Pinellas campaign on the Reach App, familiarize yourself with the site. No matter where you are in the Voter Action Pinellas campaign, you’ll see this menu bar at the bottom, with 4 icons, as shown here:
You can select an icon to move to a different screen in our campaign. If you leave the site and come back, you’ll come back to the site where you left off.

You'll start at the Home screen.
If you select the Home Screen you may find “Action Cards” which we’ll use to highlight info about upcoming elections and other initiatives.
Use the “Search” function to search for voters to add to your voter network.
Here's more information about using the Search function
Once you’ve built your initial network, you can find a list of all of your voters on the “My Reach” screen. Just select the voter you want to contact.
If you have a big list of contacts, you can search for a particular contact or sort the list by name, relationship, or date added or contacted.
You also can filter your list by government district, vote by mail status, or other factors. Click here for more information about filtering your voter list.
The final icon is for the chat function. If you have a question, you can ask it in the Team Chat and one of our support volunteers will respond. Or you can use the chat function to send a message individually to another volunteer.
This training is an introduction. You won’t absorb every aspect of the Reach system by reviewing this training. The best way to learn is to use it, experiment with it yourself.
