| Biden Speaking to Chaldean Catholic and Assyrian Community Leaders Last Spring |
Eastern rite Catholics are not left out of the Biden campaign's robust Catholic outreach efforts. The Biden's campaign Chaldean Advisory Council has been working hard to activate, engage and turn out the Chaldean/Assyrian community in Michigan, the swing state that has the largest Chaldean Catholic community (Illinois and California also have large numbers of Chaldeans, but those states are firmly with Biden-Harris).
The Chaldean Advisory Council will mobilize voters in the community through trusted channels, recruit volunteers for weekly phone-banks, friend-banks and other GOTV (Get Out the Vote) efforts, and urge voters to vote early in this election, preferably for Biden. Led by Nathan Kalasho and Wisam Naoum, the Advisory Council also is forming a Chaldean/Assyrian Women for Biden group to reach women voters in the community.
“Joe Biden and Kamala Harris know that to win this election and flip Michigan blue, they need to mobilize a broad, diverse coalition of voters to turn out,” said Biden for President Michigan State Director Eric Hyers. “Winning in Michigan means earning the support of the Chaldean/Assyrian communities in the state.
“With the help of the Chaldean Advisory Council, we’re speaking directly to members of the community about how a Biden-Harris administration would make their lives better. And it’s resonating with voters.”
Other Eastern rite Catholic outreach is occurring through Ukrainian Americans for Biden.
