Hi volunteers! Here are the details for this exciting opportunity to work with Musicians Against Gun Violence at our table at the Vans Warped Tour:
Event volunteers will be given a pass to the festival and provided a meal in exchange for their work engaging the lines into the venue and at our table in the Warped tent. Responsibilities will include clearly conveying our mission to attendees, discussing the raffle and pledge drive with interested parties, processing and recording donations and donor info, and occasionally mitigating conflict with hardline 2A'ers where necessary. To be considered for this gig, you must be passionate and knowledgeable about common sense gun control legislation as well as comfortable and adept at de-escalating tense exchanges with folks opposed to our mission (as there WILL be some).
Comfort with using a bullhorn is a plus! Transportation and overnight accommodation are not provided (but local pick-ups can be arranged). You will have the opportunity to catch some acts as the Warped tent breaks down at 6pm and the show goes for hours beyond that.
Cheers and thanks for reading!

Mission Statement
Musicians Against Gun Violence empowers musicians and fans to advance sensible gun reform by financially supporting candidates that will further policy to keeps schools and communities safe from gun violence.
Description
Musicians Against Gun Violence (MAGV) was founded as a Super PAC by activist/bartender Serena Fill, wife of singer-songwriter Dan Krochmal and aunt to two school-age nieces and a young nephew, following the tragic mass shooting in Parkland, FL. Established to fight the big money coming from the gun lobby, MAGV leverages the power of music to fundraise for ad campaigns in support of common sense gun reform candidates. This year our goal is to raise funds to strategically aid these candidates in the 2018 midterm elections.
Currently we are joining the Vans Warped Tour on select dates to activate fans, solicit donations and drive voter registration. Attendees are incentivized to donate and visit the Headcount and I'm Down To Vote booths at each show, with contest raffle entries and merch sales. Other fundraisers in the works include benefit concerts and online pledge drives.
