Want To Help Democrats Win But Can't Afford To Donate? Volunteer virtually or in person! [View all]

Here are some volunteer opportunities to help Democrats in winnable races. I provide these links because they can be hard to find through all the donation pages.

We must remember that it's not enough to try to swing certain seats, but to keep the ones we already have!

You can phone bank (in English or Spanish), text bank, send postcards, canvass door to door, and help in many other ways!

They will train you on the programs needed. I know! My husband and I are already phone banking and texting.

Here are some upcoming events. Not much texting yet, but it will gear up in October!

Lots of phone banking and canvassing opportunities.

There are hundreds of House races. They usually don't have text banking but do have phone banking and canvassing.

Swing Left works on Congressional races and you can also check out different websites of candidates, particularly in swingable seats.
