100 days till November: Knock on doors this summer to get out the vote this fall
Updated July 29, 2026
Join us to talk to our neighbors and fight back against the Republican agenda at our summer canvassing, aka door-knocking, events in the Hayward area. Don’t worry if you’ve never door knocked before. We’ll walk you through the process, and whenever possible pair you with an experienced canvasser. We’ll knock doors on:
· Sunday afternoon, August 9
· Monday afternoon, August 10
· Tuesday morning, August 11 (Primary Election Day).
Why knock on doors now?
We Dems need to get in front of undecided, independent, and infrequent Democratic voters well before November, and canvassing this summer is a way to do that. We’ll listen to their concerns, share what’s at stake in the midterms, and invite them to join our team. Canvassing voters before the August 11 primary lays the groundwork for more effective get-out-the-vote campaigns this fall.
Remember to dress for the weather, and stay hydrated. Please bring a smartphone if possible, but if not—we’ll provide a paper list of households to canvass.
Let’s fight for a better future for all Wisconsinites!
