Digital Weekend of Action, Saturday 6th – Sunday 7th March
by Digital Leaflet: Put your trust in Nicola Sturgeon
The Scottish Parliamentary election is just a matter of weeks away.
This will be an election that will be like no other – held, hopefully as we begin to emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
So while we can’t yet get out chapping doors and holding street stalls, we are taking the campaign online.
Campaigning online safely is more important than ever so we are holding the ever SNP weekend of digital action.
This is where you come in.
We want you to take a couple minutes of your time to become a digital leafleteer.
We have members in every community across Scotland and a collective effort spreading the message can have a huge impact.
Peer to peer campaigning is effective. The conversations that you have with your friends, family and online followers really do make the difference.
If each of us contacts 20 people with the digital leaflet featured on this page, collectively we can reach around 2.5 million voters at the push of a couple of buttons on your mobile or computer.
