Bring on the Blue Wave! Actions to win elections in 2026!
Deep canvassing and deep phone banking are data-backed techniques that utilize one-on-one conversations to build trust and develop a deeper understanding of voters' needs and concerns. These personal conversations break down barriers and plant seeds that have been proven to grow political support. Learn more about how you can help win control of both chambers of Congress by participating in a canvassing program that is reimagining how we talk with voters. Check out the blog article for more information and see below for opportunities to deep canvass with your D2 neighbors!

Save the Date! Annual Portland D2 Neighbors Indivisible Picnic/Potluck Saturday, Sept. 12 from 1 p.m. - 4 p.m. at Daybreak Co-Housing (2525 N. Killingsworth)
D2 will provide Burritos (yum) and cold drinks (seltzer, etc.). You are invited to bring side dishes and desserts. Alcohol is OK in moderation. BYOB. We also encourage you to bring cold water in a reusable container so we are not contributing to single-use plastic waste. And, if you’re really into reducing plastic waste, you might consider bringing some reusable flatware.
This is a great opportunity to invite someone who might be interested in getting more information about Indivisible and the rewarding work we do while having a great time. We have enough chairs for the expected number of attendees, but feel free to bring extra (camp?) chairs if you feel you might need them. |
