Hi John,
At Swing Left, our work is about more than winning a single election. It’s about investing for both the short and long term, to reduce the cycle-to-cycle whiplash and build infrastructure that lasts beyond a single wave election.
Which is why it’s not enough to help Democrats flip the U.S. House by a few seats this November—we need to help them win a large, durable majority.
That’s why our innovative voter contact program, Ground Truth, is starting earlier than ever. Swing Left volunteers are working to reach every voter in our target swing districts—not just the “likely Democrats” who are targeted in traditional organizing, but Republicans and independents too, no matter who they voted for last or whether they voted at all. Because in order to win big, we need to persuade as many people as possible to vote for Democrats.

Ground Truth isn’t traditional canvassing. It’s built around a simple idea: that listening is the first step to persuading.
Using new technology, broader targeting, and better scripts, Ground Truth volunteers have open-ended, personal conversations with voters. We’re asking questions, listening carefully, and capturing what people are actually experiencing in their real, everyday lives. Those insights are then shared directly with Democratic campaigns and party committees so they can shape their messaging and outreach strategies well before Election Day.
This is reimagining voter contact, and it has the potential to help Democrats win big in 2026, 2028, and beyond. But in order for Ground Truth to succeed, we’re counting on the entire Swing Left community to get involved.
So, if you’re ready to take action now, can you to sign up to volunteer with Ground Truth today? This interest form will guide you to the best volunteer opportunity for you, based on where you live and what you like to do.
Whether you can volunteer in-person in a swing district, make calls from home, or help host a canvass in your community, there is a role for you!
Thank you, as always, for everything you do,
— The Swing Left Team
