This is a people-powered campaign. Pick a shift, pick a role, and we'll train you. No experience needed. The only requirement is that you live in Riverbend or care about it.
Each role comes with paid training, scheduling flexibility, and the company of two thousand neighbors who decided this election matters. Some roles are remote, some are not. All four are needed.
The single highest-impact thing you can do for this campaign. We knock every weekend through Election Day, with paid training, walk lists, packets, and lunch from Mae's Diner.
Call from our HQ war room or from your couch. We use a predictive dialer with an integrated script, so you only talk to people who pick up. Pizza on Tuesdays.
If you have a backyard, basement, or rec room, Marisol will come. Forty-one house meetings hosted so far. They remain the highest-converting persuasion event in our toolkit.
Free lawn sign delivered to your door this week. We'll come pick it up the day after the election. The 1,840 signs already out across Riverbend are the most visible piece of the campaign.
Tell us how you want to help and we'll match you with a shift, a captain, and a training session in your neighborhood. We text within 24 hours. We never spam, never share, never sell.
No. We train every volunteer for 30 minutes before their first shift, and you will always be paired with an experienced canvasser or phone-banker for your first time out. Honestly, the people who do best on day one are the people who have never done it before — they sound like neighbors, not professionals, which is the point.
The minimum useful shift is two hours. Most volunteers do one or two shifts per week. Some captains and field organizers put in 20+ hours per week — but that is voluntary and self-paced. Show up when you can.
Yes — for phone banks, data entry, and remote work. Door-knocking is reserved for Riverbend residents (it is more effective and more legal). If you're outside city limits, sign up anyway and we'll match you to a remote shift.
No, this is volunteer work. We do provide food at every shift, paid parking at HQ, and a $15/shift transit voucher for volunteers without cars. The campaign organizers are paid; the canvassers, phone bankers, and hosts are not.
Absolutely. We have remote phone banking, captioned video shifts, accessible HQ work spaces, and host meetings in accessible homes. Tell us what you need on the signup form or email access@yourbusiness.com and we will accommodate. Marisol is a former special-education advocate.
Yes! We have a robust youth program for ages 14–17 with parental sign-off. Youth volunteers run a separate phone-bank program with peer trainers, attend school-based registration drives, and serve on the campaign's Youth Advisory Council. Email youth@yourbusiness.com.
