HOW TO PREPARE FOR THE CANVASS
- Fully charge your phone overnight & bring any batteries you might need
- Download the MiniVan smartphone app from Apple or Google Play using Wifi (goes much quicker). We will use this app while Canvassing. If you do not have a smartphone, please let the trip organizers know, so the campaign preps a paper packet for you – targetmajoritynyc@gmail.com.
- Learn about Democrat Ashley Ehasz and her positions on key issues
- Review Ashley’s tips & Talking Points
- Check out Kamala’s Talking Points!
- Look at the Commit to Vote Triple Card we’ll help voters fill out
- Review Talking Points for Project 2025 in PA (centrist), and progressive talking points nationally
- Listen to this 19-min PA Voter Registration training video (on the way is fine!)
- Open this google doc and take a screencap of the below QR code and link on your phone, so you can help voters check voter registration & register to vote: https://bit.ly/slvr
- With the risk in these times of reactive R voters, we ask everyone to do a quick self-training with this de-escalation guide.
- Maintain your own physical space, relaxed body language & calm tone.
- At the first sign of unpleasantness, thank them for their time & leave.
- Never answer provocations–instead, you can reflect that you hear how strongly they feel about this & “you’ve given me a lot to think about.”
- If they make it hard to leave: Courteously but firmly disengage. You might say: “Thank you for sharing your ideas. I’m sorry, but I need to get going now.” Repeat if needed.
REMINDERS TO HAVE A GREAT DAY
- Save the ON THE GROUND organizer’s cell to your phone now to keep in touch the day of the canvass: Hope: 917-806-2599.
- Check the weather for our PA destination in the morning – don’t forget water, a sun hat, sunscreen, and an umbrella depending on the forecast.
- Bring your lunch and snacks (or pick up food before the kickoff starts)
- If needed, please make arrangements with your fellow car-riders, to stop at a deli before departing or on arrival, so you have lunch in hand before arriving at the launch site
- When checking google or apple maps for nearby delis, note that some rural options may be closed on weekends – check the store hours or call
