SUMMARY:Turn ‘I Don’t Vote’ into the Start (Not the End) of a Conversation
DESCRIPTION:Turn “I Don’t Vote” into the Start (Not the End) of a Conversation \nYou’ve heard it at the door or on the phone: “Oh\, I don’t vote.” \nConversation over\, right? \nNot so fast. \nMore 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. \nIn 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. \nWhether 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!” \nZoom Link provided when you sign up for the event.
