Knock on doors in swing States if you can. I have been in Pennsylvania for a week and busloads come in on Saturday and Sunday, but there are WAY fewer volunteers picking up turfs during the week.

Knock on doors in swing States if you can. I have been in Pennsylvania for a week and busloads come in on Saturday and Sunday, but there are WAY fewer volunteers picking up turfs during the week. The work is easy and it beats sitting home agonizing. People will put you up if you want to stay overnight. They can use door knockers and drivers. Www.mobilize.us. if that website doesn't work for you reach out to Democrats in the location of interest to you.
Yay, Lin!!!! I would just love to hear about your door knocking experience in Wisconsin after you've done it or when you take a break. Share here or offline. My partner and I are having some memorable conversations.
I've done GOTV there every two years since 2012. But not since 2019. I've walked areas within 7 miles or so of downtown. And have been driven to various suburbs. And on election day to visit various polling places.
Neighborhoods and voters across all socioeconomic and ethnic divides. We don't canvass or phone or text during Packers games. One interesting part of the work is to help voters, who volunteer that they've been incarcerated, understand their voting rights.
Racine has a great historical society (Racine was on the Underground Railroad.) SC Johnson's Frank Lloyd Wright corporate headquarters. Kringel (Bendtsen's, unless you live on the other side of town.) Weird, to this New Yorker, midwestern pizza - like little saltine cracker canapés. Great Mexican, Korean, and Indian food. A Great Lake! And really fine people - they keep us well fed and in good spirits during long hours at headquarters.
I've lived in really Blue areas and now in a Blue dot, in a purplish circle, in a vast Red desert going up to the Canadian border - so campaigning in a really diverse swing state - it's great! And especially GOTV weekend when so many people are really working hard.
So much juicy and wonderful information, Lin! Tim Snyder will be very interested in your work to explain voting rights that the formerly incarcerated have but might not understand. I held when I read the bit about the pizzas that taste like Saltine cracker canapés. I'm spoiled by New York and New Haven style pizza and remember having the absolute worst Pizza of my life in Wyoming. How do they make it taste so much like cardboard? Thank you for sharing about your work. We're between houses right now on a very rural turf.

Finishing up the last of around 2000 postcards/letters to potential voters.
Then heading to Racine WI.
And the wonderful thing - this is not at all extraordinary. We are all doing everything we can. ThankYou!!!
