IT’S TIME TO TAKE ACTION
BECOME A VOLUNTEER
WE’RE VOLUNTEERS FOR VOTERS
We mobilize volunteers to talk to voters through curated action opportunities. Common Power (CP) specializes in live conversations with voters at their doors, and building a community of committed volunteers.
The action we curate is purposeful to make an impact year-round, whether that is knocking on doors in swing states, or phone banking to cure ballots after an election.
WE’RE BACKING FIGHTERS

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS
This year, every single seat in the State House + Governor + much more will be on the ballot. Virginia is famously a bellwether state for the following midterm elections. And we can’t let the sludge that is our federal politics distract us from the importance of state and local elections on everyday people’s lives.
We’ve doorknocked with our New Virginia Majority since 2019 and we’re back again. Here’s what we’re doing:
✔ January 3, 2025: Special Election
June 17, 2025: Primary Election
Trip Dates: June 13 - 18 in Arlington and Richmond (at the same time, so pick one!)
Supporting candidates Ghazala Hashmi for Lieutenant Governor and May Nivar for VA-57
November 4, 2025: General Election
Tentative trip dates: October 31 - November 5
NEW JERSEY ELECTIONS
We’re throwing down for the Governor’s race in NJ. Even though NJ is considered a Democratic state, a lot of Republican dollars are invested to turn NJ conservative. Like tug of war, even if your side is holding on, if you stop pulling, you’ll lose.
June 10, 2025: Primary Election
Trip Dates: June 6 - June 11 in Princeton, NJ
Supporting candidate Ras Baraka for NJ Governor
November 4, 2025: General Election
Tentative weekend of action: November 1 - 2
ARIZONA SPECIAL ELECTIONS
We were serious when we said we would be in every single US House Election this year. The margin is razor thin and every representative is not just a vote but a stop-gap against the Trump Administration’s project to turn America into a dictatorship. So we’re going to Tuscon and supporting candidates that are gonna push the envelope.
July 15, 2025: Primary Election
Trip Dates: July 11 - 16 in Tuscon
Supporting Deja Foxx for the US House AZ-07 Special Election
September 23, 2025: General Election
Tentative trip dates: September 19 - 24

IT’S TIME TO FIGHT BACK IN 2025
COMMON POWER IS ON THE OFFENSE
We believe competing in US House special elections and strategic state elections this year is essential.
RALLY, PROTEST, ATTEND EVENTS
Before it was this action or that event. Or this day or that weekend. Whatever you were doing before, you gotta do a tad bit more now.

Do something. DO MORE
IF YOU CAN’T TRAVEL
SUPPORT ANOTHER VOLUNTEER TO TRAVEL!
Consider helping CP bring another doorknocker instead! Sponsorships go towards transportation, lodging, and meals on the grounds for sponsored volunteers. We primarily sponsor Academy students and Institute Educators, our younger and more diverse pathways into the CP community.
