Hi John,
Last week we announced the nationwide expansion of our Ground Truth canvassing program, and as the news spread, it became clear that people are paying close attention to the work this community is doing with Ground Truth! We’re excited to share with you what others are saying about the program, and, if you haven’t gotten involved yet, give you a chance to learn more.
➡️ On Pod Save America, Swing Left’s Executive Director, Yasmin Radjy, joined Tommy Vietor to dig into what we’re learning at the doors:
It was a great conversation about the moment we’re in and what Democrats need to do to win back the House in 2026, and they covered a lot:
And those are just the highlights. You can click here to listen to the full episode!
In addition to Pod Save America, Ground Truth was also featured in several other places:
📺 Following the Pod Save America interview, Tommy Vietor discussed the program on CNN. Watch here.
📺 On MS Now (formerly MSNBC), Chris Jansing Reports spoke with volunteers at a recent Ground Truth canvass, and even talked to a voter who was on the receiving end of a door knock. Watch here.
📺 Yasmin also joined The Contrarian and highlighted the simple idea Ground Truth is built on: that people notice when you take the time to listen. Watch here.
📰 The Nation published an op-ed from Yasmin titled “What Catholic Door-Knocking Taught Me About Saving the Democratic Brand,” and it was the #1 most popular article on their website after being published! Read it here.
We’re encouraged to see that the news about what this community is building with Ground Truth is breaking through. The wins we saw in 2025 were encouraging, but they didn’t erase real trust problems Democrats are facing across the country.
Rebuilding that trust is the work we need to do to win, and it starts with listening to voters long before Election Day. Ground Truth is our commitment to doing exactly that.
If you’d like to learn more about how you can get involved with Ground Truth, make sure to sign up for our “Inside Ground Truth” national strategy call on Tuesday, December 9. This is an ambitious program, and it’s going to take all of us to pull it off—so we hope to see you there!
Thank you for everything you do,
The Swing Left Team
