We hope you had a great September so far! As summer comes to a close and fall starts to settle in, we are excited for what the new season will bring. People are excited about the cooler weather, the warm drinks, pumpkins, football, and the upcoming holidays. We are out here excited for the upcoming elections and what it means to share with our communities the issues that will get them out to vote this year! It takes a lot of us to do our part in encouraging our friends and family to get involved, vote their voice, and elect people who share the values that represent our communities and can help solve the problems we face as working-class people.
Right now our staff and our canvassers are mobilizing throughout the state, engaging folks during events we’re attending and co-hosting. Below, you’ll see the upcoming events where you can find us! Join our staff and canvassers to learn more about our work, and how to be civically engaged in this last stretch before Election Day 2024.
