Door Knocking for Prop 1A in Queen Anne

Door Knocking in Columbia City
This Sun, Jan 26 1:30pm - 4pm
Columbia City PCC

Join your fellow social housing supporters as we talk to voters about Proposition 1A at the doors! Door knocking is a great way to reach voters about an issue, and you will be knocking doors alongside folks who have talked to hundreds – some even thousands – of voters.

As we all know there are many renters in Seattle in buildings that are securely locked, making it a challenge to reach voters inside through door-knocking. We are looking for members or volunteers who live in apartments and are willing to either canvass the building themselves or let a volunteer into their building to canvass. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in please fill out this form.

Door knocking will usually last for a couple hours after a short training session at the beginning about best door knocking practices. You will be paired up with experienced volunteers and talking to voters in areas that are supportive of social housing. After the training we will go off in pairs to talk to voters, then return to the starting area to drop off clipboards and debrief.

The only thing you need to bring is a mobile phone, and why you want to have social housing for your Seattle neighbors 😊
