You’ve heard it at the door or on the phone: “Oh, I don’t vote.” Conversation over, right?
Not so fast.
More than one in three eligible voters skipped the 2024 elections—and here’s the surprising thing: many actually agree with Democratic priorities. If even a small fraction vote in this year’s midterms, they can move our country in a more hopeful direction.
In this interactive 75-minute workshop, Elizabeth Chur, author of The Joy of Talking Politics with Strangers, demonstrates how to use curiosity and empathy to engage with “high-potential” voters — those who rarely or never vote. These fellow Americans are often just waiting for someone to listen without judgment.
Whether you’re a seasoned canvasser or phone banker or a brand-new volunteer, this workshop will give you strategies for transforming “I don’t vote” into “I’ll vote, and bring my whole family to the polls, too!”
