Get involved
Knock on doors, call from home, host a sign or give a ride on election day. One shift helps.
Pick a role
Every role starts with a short briefing, and you never go out alone.
Knock on doors
Walk a list of thirty doors with a partner. Training and the list are ready when you arrive.
Call voters from home
Remind neighbours of the dates and ask what matters to them. A script and a call list are sent by email.
Host a yard sign
We deliver the sign and collect it the week after the election.
Drive voters to the polls
Give a ride to neighbours who cannot get to the Civic Centre on their own.
