Hi there,
Last weekend, our first Ground Truth bus of the year transported more than
40 volunteers to Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District.

people talking on the bus, and a volunteer knocking on a door with a
Ground Truth clipboard.
Together, they knocked on doors to help Democrat Paige Cognetti defeat
Republican Rob Bresnahan this November and flip this critical swing
district blue.
After the canvass, the energy and joy on the ride home were palpable.
Everyone wanted to talk and debrief about the incredible conversations
they had with voters, and they’re all looking forward to joining our next
canvass later this month.
One volunteer leader even said she went into the canvass as a bit of a
skeptic on Ground Truth. But once it was over, she was thoroughly
impressed with the strategy and was already planning ways to participate
more.
If you’re not already familiar, Ground Truth is Swing Left’s innovative,
volunteer-led deep canvassing program that aims to rebuild trust in
Democrats by listening first. We talk to voters across the ideological
spectrum, including Republicans, Independents, and waning Democrats, take
notes on what we hear, and make valuable insights available to Democratic
campaigns and party committees so they can refine their messaging and
outreach strategies to build winning campaigns ahead of Election Day.
So far, Ground Truth volunteers have had more than 15,000 meaningful
conversations with voters in swing districts and states across the
country, and we’re planning to scale up exponentially before the election.
But in order to make it happen, we’re going to need a lot more buses—and
this bus program is only possible thanks to the generous support of the
Swing Left community.
We’re aiming to raise $100,000 to secure 33 buses in total before Election
Day, and so far, this community has helped us raise $50,000 toward that
goal. We’re halfway there, and I can’t thank you enough for making that
happen.

With the help of this grassroots community, I’m confident that we can
reach our $100,000 goal, have hundreds of thousands of conversations with
voters, and make the difference for Democrats in swing races across the
country this November.
Thank you again for all you do. We’ll reach out with more updates soon!
