Join Digital Ground Game and Swing Left for a Ground Truth canvass—designed to help Democrats flip Congress in 2026, and rebuild trust for the long term. There will be a morning shift, then lunch, followed by an afternoon shift. If you don't have a full day, feel free to participate in the shift you have time for. We can flip PA-01 blue and replace Brian Fitzpatrick with **Bob Harvie**. Additionally, there's a real chance that PA Dems can win a trifecta for the first time since 1993. PA Republicans last had a trifecta 2011, which lasted until 2014 and caused a lot of problems that PA is now facing. If PA Dems win a trifecta this year they can raise minimum wage, secure stable funding sources for SEPTA and PRT, start much needed repairs and upgrades on rural highways and roads, and many more things. For this year, we launched an [innovative new program](https://swingleft.org/ground-truth) that will revolutionize how we connect with voters and potential voters at their doors. At this canvass, we’ll: - **Listen deeply** to voters’ concerns, regardless of party affiliation. - **Persuade voters** using a data-proven approach of exchanging personal stories and making the case for how electing Democrats connects to what they care most about. - **Gather actionable insights** for 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 canvassing—training, materials, and support are all provided. Just bring comfortable shoes, a charged phone, and your passion for making a difference. –– **About the program** This isn’t traditional canvassing—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 started early:* We launched a year ahead of the midterms to build power before campaigns were even off the ground. - *How we’l
