    Ground Truth Phone Bank

    At this phone bank, we’ll:

    • Call ALL types of voters — not just those who vote like us.

    • Have real conversations that LISTEN deeply to voters’ concerns.

    • Gather insights to share with campaigns, so they can be responsive to voters’ needs and smarter with their messaging, targeting, and outreach.

    Ground Truth: New Volunteer Orientation

    Ground Truth: New Volunteer Orientation

    Get involved with Ground Truth—Swing Left’s innovative, people-powered program that’s helping Democrats win back power by reimagining how we talk with voters. In this 30-minute orientation, you'll learn how to make an impact from anywhere, no matter your schedule or preferred type of action. Whether you want to knock doors, call voters, help recruit volunteers, or more, we need all hands on deck.

    Can't make it and want to get started? Visit swingleft.org/volunteer to explore all Ground Truth volunteer opportunities.

    Why Ground Truth? The 2026 midterms are our next big chance to unseat Republicans and reverse the creep of authoritarian politics. Flipping the House is step one in checking this administration's agenda and building toward a full-fledged Democratic trifecta in 2028. But we can't keep talking to the same voters in the same way and expect a different result. With Ground Truth, we will:

    • Go big by talking to all swing district voters, not just likely Dems, because traditional voter contact too often misses persuadable voters.

    • Listen deeply to voters’ real-world concerns, including specific challenges faced in their communities, starting earlier than ever.

    • Using brand-new technology, directly share on-the-ground insights and rich data to strengthen the most competitive Democratic House campaigns.

    Whether you're new to Swing Left or you've been with us from the beginning, this orientation is a great place to learn how to join the Ground Truth team!

    Ground Truth: New Volunteer Orientation

    Get involved with Ground Truth—Swing Left’s innovative, people-powered program that’s helping Democrats win back power by reimagining how we talk with voters. In this 30-minute orientation, you'll learn how to make an impact from anywhere, no matter your schedule or preferred type of action. Whether you want to knock doors, call voters, help recruit volunteers, or more, we need all hands on deck.

    Can't make it and want to get started? Visit swingleft.org/volunteer to explore all Ground Truth volunteer opportunities.

    Why Ground Truth? The 2026 midterms are our next big chance to unseat Republicans and reverse the creep of authoritarian politics. Flipping the House is step one in checking this administration's agenda and building toward a full-fledged Democratic trifecta in 2028. But we can't keep talking to the same voters in the same way and expect a different result. With Ground Truth, we will:

    • Go big by talking to all swing district voters, not just likely Dems, because traditional voter contact too often misses persuadable voters.

    • Listen deeply to voters’ real-world concerns, including specific challenges faced in their communities, starting earlier than ever.

    • Using brand-new technology, directly share on-the-ground insights and rich data to strengthen the most competitive Democratic House campaigns.

    Whether you're new to Swing Left or you've been with us from the beginning, this orientation is a great place to learn how to join the Ground Truth team!

    About the program

    This isn’t traditional canvassing—it’s a whole new way of talking to voters. Together, we’ll gather authentic insights from communities, use cutting-edge tools to capture what we hear, and share it back with campaigns to strengthen their efforts.

    • Why we’re starting early: We launched a year ahead of the midterms to build power before campaigns got off the ground.

    • How we’ll go big: knocking every door, not just the ones the voter database tells us to, so every conversation builds a more complete picture of the electorate.

    • How we’ll go deep: practicing empathetic listening and real conversations that uncover voters’ “ground truth,” not just checking boxes on a script.

    Ground Truth: New Volunteer Orientation

    Get involved with Ground Truth—Swing Left’s innovative, people-powered program that’s helping Democrats win back power by reimagining how we talk with voters. In this 30-minute orientation, you'll learn how to make an impact from anywhere, no matter your schedule or preferred type of action. Whether you want to knock doors, call voters, help recruit volunteers, or more, we need all hands on deck.

    Can't make it and want to get started? Visit swingleft.org/volunteer to explore all Ground Truth volunteer opportunities.

    Why Ground Truth? The 2026 midterms are our next big chance to unseat Republicans and reverse the creep of authoritarian politics. Flipping the House is step one in checking this administration's agenda and building toward a full-fledged Democratic trifecta in 2028. But we can't keep talking to the same voters in the same way and expect a different result. With Ground Truth, we will:

    • Go big by talking to all swing district voters, not just likely Dems, because traditional voter contact too often misses persuadable voters.

    • Listen deeply to voters’ real-world concerns, including specific challenges faced in their communities, starting earlier than ever.

    • Using brand-new technology, directly share on-the-ground insights and rich data to strengthen the most competitive Democratic House campaigns.

    Whether you're new to Swing Left or you've been with us from the beginning, this orientation is a great place to learn how to join the Ground Truth team!

    Knock on doors with Ground Truth and Indivisible Oregon in Oregon City

    Knock on doors with Ground Truth and Indivisible Oregon in Oregon City

    Join Swing Left for a Ground Truth canvass—designed to help Democrats rebuild trust, win tough races, and flip the House. We’re launching an innovative new program that will revolutionize how we connect with voters and potential voters at their doors.

    At this canvass, we’ll:

    • Knock on every door in the neighborhood, not just the same voters campaigns usually talk to.

    • Have real conversations that listen deeply to voters’ concerns.

    • Gather insights to share with campaigns, so they can be responsive to voters’ needs and smarter with their messaging, targeting, and outreach.

    Don’t worry if it’s your first time—training, materials, and support are all provided. Just bring comfortable shoes, a charged phone, and your passion for making a difference.

    About the program

    This isn’t traditional canvassing—it’s a whole new way of talking to voters. Together, we’ll gather authentic insights from communities, use cutting-edge tools to capture what we hear, and share it back with campaigns to strengthen their efforts.

    • Why we’re starting early: We launched a year ahead of the midterms to build power before campaigns got off the ground.

    • How we’ll go big: knocking every door, not just the ones the voter database tells us to, so every conversation builds a more complete picture of the electorate.

    • How we’ll go deep: practicing empathetic listening and real conversations that uncover voters’ “ground truth,” not just checking boxes on a script.
