Knocking on Doors for Voter Engagement - October 14

Posted in

“Voting according to values makes a huge difference in the process of policy change”

ESTHER is participating in a statewide WISDOM action on October 14 with a goal of knocking on 600 doors. This Integrated Voter Engagement project is focused on reaching out to those who are traditionally left out of the process – renters, people of color, women, students and low-income workers.

We are in need of volunteers to be a part of this outreach effort. Will you help?

EVENT: Integrated Voter Engagement
WHEN: October 14, 2017
  9:30 am: Orientation
10:00 am–noon: Canvassing
WHERE: Emmanuel United Methodist Church, 740 E College Ave, Appleton
TO VOLUNTEER: Register online at https://esther-foxvalley.org/canvass or contact the ESTHER office at office@esther-foxvalley.org. An orientation will be provided, including script and materials to leave at the door.

Volunteers will have brief conversations with selected individuals at their doorstep, asking them about their issues and concerns and also seeking support for an ESTHER priority, The Faithful Citizenship Campaign (click on ‘Attachments’ below, or view/download here). The Faithful Citizenship petition asks our Wisconsin legislators to commit to cutting poverty in half over the next ten years and to reducing the racial disparities existing in childhood poverty.

Volunteers will be visiting portions of Appleton’s first and second wards near Columbus Elementary School. Additional rounds of volunteers will revisit this same neighborhood twice more in the coming year.

Can you help? Register online at https://esther-foxvalley.org/canvass or contact the ESTHER office (office@esther-foxvalley.org) to let us know!
