Wondering how you can help flip the House at November’s midterm elections? Learn all about canvassing with experienced groups in nearby winnable congressional districts by coming to Indivisible East Bay’s February All Members Meeting on Sunday, February 25, from 1-3 PM at Sports Basement, Berkeley. RSVP here (free).
Lora Jo Foo from Working America will talk about her group’s effective work in CA-10 (Modesto) and CA-21 (San Joaquin Valley), and Organizing for Action’s Kook Huber will outline the wide range of actions scheduled between now and November to help flip CA-21. Kook is spearheading the CD-21 Action Coalition, which IEB has joined.
Lora Jo and Kook will also lead a breakout session where you can ask questions and learn more. They have tons of experience in progressive organizing, and their passion is contagious. Canvassing is rewarding and fun, and easier than you think! You’ll be trained and paired with an experienced canvasser. Don’t be surprised if you sign up for everything! And you can sign up here to help the CD-21 Action Coalition in ways other than canvassing – see the phone bank schedule and check out other volunteer opportunities.
Or want to join one of Swing Left’s monthly trips to canvass in Sanger or Mendota in a 15-passenger van? They’re scheduling March trips now. Due to the distance there’s even talk of crashing in sleeping bags in the Red Church in Fresno or similar historic sites. How cool is that?
