Hotline for advocacy & organizing
Your calendar is not a public document.
Organizers meet the people who show up, on the days they can show up. That is not a schedule you publish.
Get started freeWhat this usually looks like
You are coordinating a canvass, three coalition calls and a legislator meeting that keeps moving. Half the people you need are volunteers with day jobs, so the only workable times are evenings and Saturday morning — and those are exactly the times a scheduling link would hand out to everybody, including the reporter who wants forty minutes on Tuesday.
What happens instead
So the reporter gets Tuesday at two and Wednesday at four, and nothing else — not the evenings, not Saturday. The coalition call goes out as one link to all nine partners at once, and by Thursday you can see that six have marked Tuesday evening and which three haven't answered, so the chase is two messages instead of a reply-all. The canvass briefing gets written on Sunday night and scheduled to arrive at eight on Monday, when volunteers actually read their mail. Saturday morning stays yours until the week you decide to offer it, because it was never on a page anyone could load.
Offer the evenings you meant to offer
Pick the two or three slots that genuinely work for this person and send those. Nobody sees the rest of the week, so protecting Saturday afternoon doesn't require blocking it out in advance.
One link for the whole committee
Send one proposal to everyone who has to be there and watch the replies land. Hotline tracks who has answered and who is still holding the line, so chasing is a glance rather than a thread.
Volunteers don't need accounts
The person choosing a time taps once. No sign-up, no app, no password — which matters when your list turns over every cycle.
Shifts, hours and mileage in one place
Build the week as shifts, publish them to everyone's calendar, and get the hours, cost and mileage totals out as a spreadsheet when the funder asks.
