Fairfax County Democratic Committee | Your Democratic Party in Fairfax County, VA

Biden - Harris - Kaine Virginia Weekend of Action Canvassing Opportunities. The weekend of action launches in Annandale (Saturday at 11 AM), Falls Church (Sunday at noon), and Vienna (Sunday at noon). No canvassing experience is needed; full training will be provided to anyone who needs it! All you need is a charged phone and comfortable walking shoes. If you've never canvassed or haven't canvassed in a long time, knocking doors is a rewarding volunteer activity. Regardless of your canvassing experience, it may be worthwhile to examine this comprehensive guide to canvassing (from the perspective of campaigns).

Results of informal "should Joe Biden stay in the race" survey: Of the fifty-three respondents to our emails last week, 51% think Joe should stay in the race while 36% think he should withdraw. Another 13% either had a policy-related comment or offered nuanced comments.
