The Next Step

Pick an Activity

Volunteering is easy and fun! Most activities are contacting like-minded people in key states who don’t follow politics. They may not know about upcoming elections, how to register, or how to vote. Some you can do on your own (We’ll show you how.) Others are done in person (e.g. canvassing). Some you join an event over Zoom where you learn how and do either on your own or with others on Zoom. Whatever activity you choose, our organizers are here to help every step of the way.

Phoning

Phone friendly voters in key states. You can do it using your own phone using an auto-dialer app that makes calls easy and efficient, and hides your personal number.

Texting

From your own phone, use a special texting app that hides your number to text potential targets and provides suggested responses.

Postcarding

Send notes to occasional voters encouraging them to vote or informing them of how to do mail-in voting. A hand-written note gets someone’s attention better than any printed mailer.

Canvassing

Live in a swing state or district? Canvassing is the gold standard in volunteering because it's engaging directly with like-minded voters. See our canvassing opportunities (which are most available within six months of the general election).

Social Media

Use your social media skills (e.g., Instagram, Facebook, Bluesky or even, yes, X) to encourage others to vote or get involved. We show you how.

Voter Registration

You can help register voters in key areas in person (through door-to-door or tabling), or remotely via texting or mail.

Donating/Fundraising

Money is often key to winning. Find out which candidates and causes are most effective and how to donate and/or host a fundraising event for them.

Pro Services

Do you have a special skill you'd like to put to good use for the cause? VB and our partners are looking for volunteers who can help in specialized areas such as writing, graphics, web development plus many others. Check out our "Help Wanted" section to see these special volunteer opportunities

Organizing

Get others involved! Learn how to host a political event or a house party for your like-minded friends. We'll show you how to get connected and steps to host a successful event.
