There are lots of ways you can volunteer to help elect democrats. One of the most effective (and the most scary-sounding!) is door knocking aka canvassing. In real life, door knocking is not nearly as intimidating as it may seem.

Canvassing Tips

• Engaging with voters face to face is shown to be the most impactful voter-engagement activity
• It sounds kind of scary, but its really not!
• Its good to step outside of your comfort zone, right?!
• You are not expected to be an expert on the issues, the candidates or whatever happens to be in the media
• You are not sent out to try to “convince” republican voters on policy issues, etc.
• You’ll be given an script outline to use as a guide
• You’ll have candidate literature to share
• Here’s the best part – when you’re done, you’ll feel like you’ve done your part, and you have!
