Why Canvassing is Our Secret Weapon

• Canvassing is the single most powerful action we can take to get voters to the polls. It’s not just effective—it’s unbeatable.BUT I am shy and afraid of talking to strangers. We only visit people who want to hear from us! Our advanced targeting ensures you’re talking to voters who appreciate your efforts. In the rare case of a non-supporter, a simple, “Thank you for your time!” is all it takes. Politeness is the rule, and you are always in control. No stress, only impact.
• BUT I don’t think I could go out all by myself. It is just too daunting. You are never alone! Every canvasser goes out in a team of at least two. We make sure every newcomer is paired with a seasoned veteran who will guide you every step of the way. Think of it as a supported entry to one of the most vital forms of activism. Built-in support, instant teamwork.
• BUT I don’t know what to say. I don’t know the issues or the candidates. We eliminate the guesswork. You get a professionally developed, easy-to-use script and hands-on training that covers everything from opening the conversation to handling common questions. You don’t need to be an expert! For tough questions, you can immediately call your Canvass Organizer or arrange a follow-up, ensuring every voter gets the answers they need, and you feel prepared for anything. Training provided, stress removed.
• BUT You make it sound like fun or at least rewarding. Is it really like that? It’s more than rewarding—it’s inspiring. You will spend your time connecting with neighbors who are grateful for your effort. The feeling of directly contributing to a victory is unmatched. Our first-time volunteers consistently report leaving their shifts energized, full of incredible stories, and ready to sign up for the next time! Real connections, immediate rewards.

Sustainer Campaign

As we begin to plan our next steps for action and to work with municipal candidates to offer support, it is vitally important that we have enough funding to do all the work that needs to be done!  Please dig deep if you can, even a $10 monthly donation helps us fund the work we do together. If you can afford more – $25, $50 or even $100 – we can think about bigger action: billboards, print, digital and radio ads! Any donation amount is welcome and appreciated and if monthly is not feasible right now – a one time donation goes a long way too. So far we have $430 in monthly donations with less than a dozen donors – I KNOW we can build on that! – Susan. (To donate, click here)
