On Friday we made a phone call to Martha in Portland, Maine, to ask a few questions for an upcoming post. Martha is one of our top grassroots phonebankers, and during the primaries she made thousands of calls to more than a dozen states. Once she realized that it was someone from the Chicago headquarters on the line, the very first question she asked was, “Where do you want me to call?”
During the primaries, ordinary people like Martha made millions of phone calls to voters across almost every state. These calls helped identify supporters, recruit volunteers, sway undecided voters and provide valuable election information. Their efforts helped us win hundreds of additional delegates and in some cases quite literally made the difference between winning and losing.
Yesterday we kicked off door to door canvasses in over a dozen states. We've already opened hundreds of offices across the country (with more on the way), in one of the largest field efforts in general election history. These on the ground efforts are a key part of our strategy, but as they were in the primary, our grassroots phonebankers are just as important.
Martha understood this. And she knew instintively that it's time to get back to work.
