canvassing

In the first of three episodes from our bonus mini-season of the Pledge, Allison shares her own story of political activism in the 2018 midterm elections. Using audio diary entries along with interviews with friends who shared the journey, Allison explores the highs, lows, and ultimate rewards of organizing support for candidates in the southeastern US. Ultimately, Allison became the Southeast Regional Coordinator for Swing Left and focussed her energy on the long-shot congressional campaign of Tabitha Isner in Alabama.

On episode 4 of RPM, we’ll be talking about the surprisingly important electoral landscape in New York City in 2019!

In the studio, we'll have Renée Paradis from the Brooklyn Electoral Working Group of NYC-DSA all before we connect with you — the audience — to take your calls in the last quarter of the show!

Tune in on Tuesdays at 5:00 PM on WBAI 99.5 FM New York and online at: nyc-dsa.link/nycRPM and follow us on Twitter @nycRPM

Faith and Anthony chat with their friend Sarah Sonies about her efforts to get out the vote. Sarah answers their questions about why the midterms are important and her experiences canvassing, including how she got involved, what she's learned overtime, and how you can find volunteer opportunities to get people to the polls.

This weekend is #TheLAstWeekend to help get out the vote on November 6 - visit www.mobilizeamerica.io to find ways to get involved!

How are we using the internet to get out the vote and why is it so important? We've got a panel of volunteers, activists and mobilized citizens who are exercising their right to podcast about voting. Join Louise Palanker and Lauri Roggenkamp with Marley Klaus, Doug Osborne and Leslie Sackheim.

Billy and Adam take it to the streets and welcome Dan Gregor to the show. Dan has written and produced on How I Met Your Mother and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, directed the feature Most Likely to Murder and is about to reboot Rookie of the Year. But in this episode, he discusses his work canvassing for the Democratic Party before the midterm elections. How does one get involved? Does going door-to-door get confrontational? What does it do? These questions get answered, plus a final push for young voters and music by Beto O'Rourke!
