Phone bank for Ground Truth with Swing Left

Join fellow members of Swing Left Milwaukee on the national Ground Truth phone banks! Ground Truth is a new program from Swing Left, 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 computer! We recommend bringing your phone as well, and earbuds if you’d like.

About the program:

This isn’t traditional phone banking—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 get off the ground.

How we’ll go big: Calling every voter, not just the ones we normally rely on, 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.
