Volunteers for Voters
At Common Power, we mobilize volunteers for voters year-round while building lasting community.
Learn more about how we (field)work here.
We’re not waiting until the General Election to take action. Common Power will mobilize voters in 7 key states for their Primary elections and more in the General Election.
Engaging voters in Primary Elections increase the likelihood of them voting in the fall. We keep our skills sharp while developing volunteer leads and helping our partners sustain their work year-round.
Join our State Team doorknocking efforts to Get Out the Vote!
But that’s not all we’re planning. See our Volunteer Travel Guide for the most up to date information.
