What’s Ahead… If We Want To Win
- OUTREACH so we are not just “preaching to the choir”
It will be critically important that every Democrat vote in the November elections: positive reasons and negative reasons will be on people’s minds. But there are about 5,000 voters in Door County who are on the fence and we need to have face-to-face conversations with them… mostly at their door. We know who many of them are but DoorDems needs canvassers to volunteer to go and talk with them. - HAVE A DRINK WITH A DEMOCRAT so we are sure we know what is on voters’ minds.
We have built a strong communications network and presence on social media but the communication tends to go mostly one way. We need volunteers to form small core groups at locations that we can advertise where non-activists can come and talk about what is on their mind and will motivate their vote. - POP-UPS in Sister Bay and Sturgeon Bay. Why not in Egg Harbor, Forestville and beyond?
We have sets of Democratic values and issues signs suitable for holding up like Burma Shave signs at busy intersections and streets. You can do it once or every same day of the week. Most of the honks are positive…… - WORKING ON MAILINGS including for our Annual Membership drive, for special meetings and notices of candidate appearances.
We now have over 400 members and another 300 friends of DP-DC. We can (and do) email them but experience shows us that we get the best response when we reach out to them by postal mail. This means crews of people coming to the office to do boring, repetitive… critically important work. - MOBILE OFFICE needs a crew of volunteers to build it and move it around the county from Gills Rock to Rosiere.
Lots of folks just cannot make it into Sturgeon Bay to get signs, campaign materials, find out what’s going on. So we would take the office to them. As well, we could do it as a pop-up event to try to recruit new members. - OFFICE VOLUNTEERS our wonderful office is a magnet for people wanting to know how they can get involved.
We need people willing to be trained to hold down the fort and support campaign activities, volunteers doing out-reach and people wanting signs and information.
