Join Our 2024 Election Volunteer Team! |
Election season is ramping up, and our goal is to secure a pro-family victory in the Minnesota Legislature by deploying volunteers to door-knock, make phone calls, help at events, and more.
The good news is that the progressive majority was won by a slim margin last election, so we have high hopes of success, but we need as many volunteers as possible to reach everyday voters - victory is in sight!
Join other faith and family-minded Minnesotans seeking to make a difference for our state, and share this opportunity with your friends who may be interested! |
