Join other Indivisible Oregon volunteers to knock doors in Congressional District 5 -- a swing district -- to restore our democracy.

We will use a "deep canvassing" approach where we will listen for concerns and aim to understand experiences rather than persuade. We will knock on every door so that we connect with all potential allies.

The goals are to gather good information about the issues concerning people in District 5 to share with campaigns committed to defeating authoritarianism, to connect people wanting to get involved with advocacy opportunities, and to connect people experiencing material needs with resources.

We will not use a phone app! Instead, we will record information on paper and will carry clipboards. (A suitable app from Swing Left isn't available at this time).

For people new to this type of canvassing, we'll provide a brief training. For people with experience, you can head out to the doors with your turf map. We encourage people to canvass in pairs.

If you’ve not done this before, don't worry. We’ll cover everything you need to know. Once you get going, you'll find that talking to voters is very rewarding.
