  description

  TurboVPB speeds up calling and texting with EveryAction's Open Virtual Phone Bank (OpenVPB), VAN, DNC VoteBuilder, and BlueVote.
  
  Skip typing in phone numbers by hand. TurboVPB automatically sends contacts' details to your phone so you can call and text with just 2 clicks.
  
  You'll be ready to call in <2 minutes — no account or mobile app needed.
  
  In addition to speeding up making calls, TurboVPB makes it easy to send text messages to contacts when they don't answer the phone or when you want to send them more information after a call. Configure one or more message templates, TurboVPB will automatically fill in the contact's name, and you can send each message with the push of a button.
  
  TurboVPB was originally developed by a volunteer for the Sunrise Movement but any volunteers, organizations, or campaigns phone banking with these tools are very welcome to use it.
