canvassing:

What to expect?

Canvassing is an invigorating and effective form of political action. Taylor Paden is a member of the same organization as Zohran Mamdani, a candidate who famously won in large part because of the many tens of thousands of volunteers who signed up to go into their communities and try to convince their neighbors of a socialist political vision. 

When you sign up to canvass, a volunteer field lead will reach out to you to make sure you're prepared as possible beforehand. The day of your canvass, you'll meet at a public location with the other canvassers, get a canvassing partner, a list of doors, and a script. It should take 1-2 hours to complete your list, you'll turn in your signature packets to the organizer, and then we meet at a nearby restaurant, bar, cafe, etc to debrief, get to know each other, and build a stronger socialist community. 

They have the money and the power, but we have the people. We will only win the things we need to live a dignified life through mass activism and organization. You owe it to yourself and your community to get involved!
