3. Wait, wait, wait...What actually is a caucus?

1. You can think of a caucus as a community meeting.

2. You and your neighbors stand in a giant room to support the candidate of your choosing by standing in groups. The goal is convince as many people as possible that Andrew's the best person to be President.


3. Okay, so I've never caucused for a Democrat before and I'm not sure I really want to.

1. We totally hear that. But it's exactly why Andrew's campaign is so important. He's uniting people of all viewpoints, and in particular he's reaching a lot of people who aren't really interested in politics.

2. Exactly. But we want anything to change we need Andrew to win. And that's why it's critical you, in particular, caucus.


3. I do hear what you're saying...Alright so when is the caucus?

1. This year the caucus is on Monday, February 3, 2020.

2. Plan to arrive at 6:30 p.m. as doors close at 7 p.m. sharp, and bring all the neighbors you have who support Andrew.


3. How do I know if I can caucus?

1. If you live in Iowa, you're probably good to go.

2. Yep. The only requirement are that you are a U.S. citizen who lives in Iowa who will be 18 by November 3rd 2020.


3. Cool. Wait. How do I know where to go?

1. Your caucus location can be found online at Yang2020.com/caucus.

2. If you still aren't sure, contact your local Yang regional office, and they'll tell you where to go.


3. Alright, I'm feeling pretty good about this whole caucus thing. What exactly do I do when I get there?

1. Just remember these three simple steps.

2. First, you have to show up.

1. Sounds easy, we know. But it's really important you get there by 6:30 p.m. Any later than 7 p.m. and you won't be let in.

2. You never know what the weather in February will bring so definitely plan ahead of time.

1. Step two is to register to caucus if you haven't already. To register on site you need to do one of these three things: 1. Bring an in- state ID with your address in the precinct you are registering in. 2. Bring an in-state or out of state ID where the address isn't located in-precinct and a piece of mail with your current in-precinct address. 3. Bring a person who is already registered in precinct to vouch for you. You don't need to meet all three of these scenarios. Just one.


3. What if I'm registered as a Republican?

2. You can change your registration even on the day of and afterwards, you can change it back if you want.

1. And if you need to change your registration, that's all the more reason to get there early.


3. OK. So I'm there. It's 6:30. I'm registered. Now what?

2. Step 3. Find your Yang Gang precinct captain and follow their lead.

1. You can miss them. They're the ones with the cool hats.


3. Nice. How do I get one of those?

2. You can sign up to be a precinct captain at Yang2020.com/ia-captain.

1. The Yang team will train you so that you can lead your neighborhood to a victory for Yang.

2. Together, we'll stand in Andrew's corner, and the precinct captain will help you fill out your presidential preference card, which is the official way we show our support for Andrew.


3. Cool. Is there anything we do other than stand in groups?

1. We can talk to our neighbors at the caucus to get them to stand in our corner with us.

2. Absolutely, the more people we have in our corner, the better.

1. In fact, your precinct captain will be specially trained to try to get people from other campaigns to come over and join our side.

2. The night will also include pre-voting business, a ceremony and speeches and alignments and math.

1. It can take up to a few hours, but at the end of the day, you get to stand in Yang's corner and show the country a new way forward.

2. So its definitely worth it.

1. Alright. How are you feeling?
