phonebank
Campaign calling operation
A phonebank is an organized effort to make a large volume of calls, typically for political campaigns, fundraising, or surveys.
Volunteers or paid workers sit at phones—often in a shared space—working through lists of contacts: We're phonebanking for the governor's race tonight.
As a verb, to phonebank is to participate in such an effort.
