Ground Truth Phone Bank

Join Swing Left for a Ground Truth phone bank—designed to fix what’s broken in Democratic organizing. We’re launching an innovative new program that will revolutionize how we connect with voters over the phone.

Our goal: to help Democrats rebuild trust, win tough races, and flip the House. We're bringing people together to build the community of real people, having real conversations with real people. During Ground Truth phone banks, we will talk to as many people as possible and focus on listening.

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.

Don’t worry if it’s your first time—training, materials, and support are all provided. Just come prepared with your phone and laptop or computer!

We recommend using earbuds or using speakerphone to free up your hands as well!

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.

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!

Canvassing With Empathy - Zoom Training
Feb

Canvassing With Empathy - Zoom Training

CANVASSING WITH EMPATHY (A.K.A. Deep Canvassing) is a method of voter outreach that involves having authentic, empathetic conversations with individuals about how they want government to serve them. Unlike traditional canvassing (which uses a script designed to persuade constituents to support a candidate or cause), CANVASSING WITH EMPATHY fosters a more in-depth and genuine way of connecting with voters to discuss the importance of electing leaders who represent one’s values and interests.

The purpose is to build sincere relationships with voters by actively listening to their beliefs and experiences and by sharing personal stories to foster common ground, empathy, and mutual respect.

SWING LEFT and INDIVISIBLE groups are partnering to conduct multiple trainings and canvassing efforts in key swing districts across the U.S., including Oregon’s critical 5th congressional district. The goal is to repair what’s broken in Democratic organizing by rebuilding trust and restoring faith in our electoral process. We want to hear from voters bout their top concerns, and we want to make sure that candidates running for election address those concerns directly!

This is a 2-hour ZOOM event that includes role playing and examples of how to canvass. Whether you are an experienced canvasser or have never canvassed before - this training is designed to give anyone the tools to have meaningful conversations with voters that are satisfying and even fun!

A zoom link will be sent ONE WEEK before the training to everyone who signed up.

At this phone bank, we’ll:

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

Knock on Doors with Ground Truth

Knock on Doors with Ground Truth

Join me for a Swing Left-Ground Truth canvas — an innovative new program that will revolutionize how we connect with voters and potential voters at their doors. It is designed to help Democrats rebuild trust, win tough races, and flip the House; which for OR-05 means to keep our seat blue!

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.

Your participation will be critical to winning the midterms and putting a check on the MAGA agenda. Together, we can transform how we talk with voters, rebuild trust, and swing the most competitive races.

Swing Left will send you a full suite of training materials prior to the canvass, including a preview of the script, a guide for a safe canvass, how to download and use the app, and more.

Location will be in the Mt. Scott/Linwood/Milwaukie area.

ONLINE EVENT

Fridays at 4—Letter Writing & More! is an online community of like-minded citizens who are committed to protecting our democracy and the rights and freedoms it provides to us. Each week we meet at 4:00 pm Pacific Time on Zoom and spend an hour and half together learning from noted speakers and sharing inspirational clips, both of which inspire lively discussions while we write letters and postcards to Democratic-leaning citizens to encourage them to vote in their next elections.

The chaos out of the White House is meant to overwhelm us. Our antidote is community. Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin every Thursday to break down the week’s biggest political stories, answer your questions, and map out strategies for taking action.

This is people-powered politics in real time. Questions can be submitted via the Q&A function during the live event.

Real talk. Real people. Real action. That's the plan.

Ground Truth Phone Bank

Join Swing Left for a Ground Truth phone bank—designed to fix what’s broken in Democratic organizing. We’re launching an innovative new program that will revolutionize how we connect with voters over the phone.

Our goal: to help Democrats rebuild trust, win tough races, and flip the House. We're bringing people together to build the community of real people, having real conversations with real people. During Ground Truth phone banks, we will talk to as many people as possible and focus on listening.

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.

Don’t worry if it’s your first time—training, materials, and support are all provided. Just come prepared with your phone and laptop or computer!

We recommend using earbuds or using speakerphone to free up your hands as well!
