Early voting is underway, and we are asking all supporters, advocates, and volunteers to get involved 

Volunteer for the future of our city

THE CHALLENGE WE FACE

New Orleans was founded 300 years ago on marshland that was to become a modern engineering marvel. But for decades, our city’s infrastructure has fallen short of residents’ needs. We have to decide as a community, if we will tackle our outdated system head on, and slow our vulnerability to flooding and future storm events.

When we talk about infrastructure, we also have to consider our human infrastructure: the people who make this the most creative and unique city in the world. Our workforce, neighborhoods, and culture demand sustainable and affordable living.

Our neighborhoods and communities are under siege from rising housing prices. This affects hospitality workers and retirees who can no longer afford to pay rent or rising property taxes. Businesses can’t operate without running water and basic infrastructure, and residents can’t drive to work if their cars are flooded.

WE’RE FIGHTING AGAINST THE STATUS QUO

We cannot keep kicking the can down the road, and Mayor LaToya Cantrell is leading the charge by picking it up. She and the New Orleans City Council need the teeth, authority, and funding to solve these problems.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Our residents can grant city hall the ability to take lasting action. On October 12th ([link removed]) , voters statewide will weigh in on Constitutional Amendment #4 and New Orleans’ ability to address its housing affordability crisis.

On November 16th ([link removed]) , the Mayor’s “Ballot of Yes!” gives the city revenue and authority to rebuild our infrastructure, maintain our assets, protect our most vulnerable citizens, and create affordable housing.

Early voting is underway, and we are asking all supporters, advocates, and volunteers to sign up for one canvassing or text-banking shift during the final stretch. You can click here ([link removed]) to sign up!

WHAT IS CANVASSING?

Door to door canvassing is reaching voters where they are, at their front doors. The goal is to make a connection by opening up a dialog and encouraging voters to engage in the process, get involved, and VOTE ON ELECTION DAY!

WHY IS CANVASSING IMPORTANT?

Grassroots organizing is what wins elections. Door to door canvassing is twice as effective as phone banking and 12x more effective than direct mail.

WHAT TO BRING?

Comfy shoes, weather appropriate clothing, sun glasses, an umbrella, water, snacks, and sunscreen

NEVER KNOCKED ON DOORS BEFORE?

Don't worry - a thorough training will be provided before we head out!
SKIP THE LINES ON ELECTION DAY AND VOTE EARLY TODAY
