Join the Fun in 2024

We are excited to meet new volunteers and train them to text, call, and talk to voters at the doors. We will need help assembling and delivering signs, staffing the office, running events, chasing ballots, and greeting voters at the polls. 

We welcome new faces to join us in this fight. The relationships we form keep us coming back and make our community stronger.
