Take on Trump and MAGA Republicans! Ride the WDHQ bus to knock on doors in battleground states and congressional districts

Bus trips to speak to voters face to face are probably >the< most effective way you can help win elections — and the most fun

On a recent trip to Vegas, WDHQ volunteers got the surprises of their lives when on one trip, President Barack OBAMA showed up unexpectedly after their canvassing to thank volunteers, and on another, Gov. Tim Walz dropped by!

NOVEMBER 2024 — the final stretch

Last weekend phone banks at the HQ! Call voters in swing states starting at 8 AM
(remember, that’s 11 AM in North Carolina, Georgia, and Michigan)
https://events.democrats.org/event/712308/

Ballot Curing (making sure every vote gets counted) at the HQ
Low stress, high-reward calling of voters who’ve cast ballots that weren’t accepted — we give them the opportunity to “cure” their ballots so they get counted. Very important in small-margin elections!

Every day from now till >past< Election Day! Shifts start at 12 and 3 PM, with a 6 PM shift Mon. – Thu.
