Join Swing Left for a Ground Truth canvass—designed to help Democrats rebuild trust, win tough races, and flip the House. We’re launching an innovative new program that will revolutionize how we connect with voters and potential voters at their doors. We're heading to the Central Valley, to California's 13th Congressional District ("CA-13"). In 2024 Adam Gray flipped this House seat by only 187 votes. Let's talk to voters now to learn how we can help hold CA-13 in 2026, as we take back the House majority! We will be canvassing in Los Banos in the Central Valley, even though the "location" for this event is shown as San Carlos. If you need a ride or can drive others, please let us know by using the "Select your transportation" field on this sign-up page. Carpools will leave Peninsula locations around 7:00-7:30am, to be in Los Banos for the event's 9:00am start time. Carpools will return around 2:30-3pm. At this canvass, we’ll: - Knock on **every door** in the neighborhood, not just the same voters campaigns usually talk to. - Have real conversations that **listen deeply** to voters’ concerns. - Gather insights to share with 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—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 are we starting so early? We launched well ahead of the midterms to build power before campaigns get off the ground. - How will we "Go Big"? By knocking on every door, not just the ones the voter database tells us to, so every conversation builds a more complete picture of the electorate. -
