With 55 days left before the November election, many volunteers and supporters have already taken the next step, connecting with local field offices and joining Neighborhood Teams across the country.

As deputy campaign manager Steve Hildebrand told the Boston Globe:
The climate has made millions of Americans who haven't been involved in a political campaign ever in their lifetimes very active. We estimate that 70 percent of our grass-roots volunteers haven't worked in a campaign before. . . . We're somewhere just shy of 2 million volunteers, and we think we can potentially triple that on Election Day.
In communities across the country, volunteers are organizing neighborhood by neighborhood to register voters, win over new supporters, recruit volunteers and help turn out supporters on election day.
As one of our Pennsylvania organizers, Jorge, says:
Probably one of the biggest rewards is meeting friends that, perhaps in no other time of your life, would you either have reason or opportunity to meet.
Tiye, also a Pennsylvania organizer, explains:
You don't have to have any special training, you don't even have to have a political background. All I need is for you to care.
You can join local Neighborhood Teams in Florida, Iowa, Indiana, Minnesota, North Carolina, New Mexico, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Washington. No matter where you live, you can sign-up for updates on campaign activities in your area and connect with grassroots supporters in your community.
