Join us in knocking on doors and getting out the vote for this crucial 2023 State election that will determine the control of the General Assembly–and whether the GOP can continue to erode our rights–to vote, to control what happens to our bodies, to educate our children, to breathe clean air and drink clean water, and so much more! With the new district lines, getting information to voters is more important than ever!
WHEN: Every Saturday morning at 10 am WHERE: The Corner Deli Market (the old Hackley’s Store) 14820 Lee Hwy in Amissville.
Eve Brooks is organizing this effort. Here’s what canvasser Christine van den Torn says:
“Eve and I and a few others have been out in the past weekends and it definitely showed us how important it is! Many people just aren’t paying attention to the races and don’t know the facts about how to vote. You will be on a team of two, so you’re not alone. It is actually fun and invigorating! We are going to Democratic and Democrat-leaning households. I haven’t had one difficult or rude interaction. Everyone has been pretty nice and willing to talk. And it only takes about 2 hours for one list of doors, so not much of your time. The Deli market where we meet has really good breakfast sandwiches and pupusas! “
