Questions about how to vote? What you need to know
Thursday, June 18, 2026 @ 7:00pm
Unitarian Universalist Church and via Zoom
Our June meeting will be held on June 18th at 7:00 PM at the Unitarian Universalist Church in Ellsworth and via Zoom. Following brief business updates, guest speakers Anna Viertel and Abbie McMillen will present a canvassing workshop.
No voter outreach is more effective than canvassing. It’s the most effective thing you can do to bring unenrolled and undecided voters to the polls for Democrats. Come learn why it’s important that YOU join this effort and all about how to be successful. If you feel intimidated about canvassing, our speakers will explain why the experience is probably not what you think.
You’ll learn:
- How to divide the work efficiently and enjoyably with a canvassing buddy
- What types of handouts work best
- How to create lists of people to maximize your impact
- When are the best times to knock on doors
- Ways to talk to people who challenge you
- How to harness energy after the Primary!
We all know the stakes of this November’s election. Here’s your chance to put aside fears and excuses and get out there and make a difference! Join us.
Pre-registration required for Zoom attendance by noon the day before the meeting. You will receive a unique link you will need to use to join the meeting.
