Sunday Door Knocking for Candidates

Join us every Sunday to help elect Democrats

Greetings!  Republican controlled states across the South are rushing to eliminate Black representation in Congress and erase decades of hard-won progress. In South Carolina, Republicans plan to create a 7-0 Republican gerrymander that makes it impossible for Rep. Jim Clyburn to win re-election. Clyburn is the only Black member of Congress elected in South Carolina since 1897 during Reconstruction — in a state where a quarter of the population is Black. It's appalling, racist, and shocks the conscience. And the same thing is happening in states across the South. It's a return to Jim Crow, and we cannot be silent about it. Join us on Sundays at 12pm at the DPDC office to Knock Doors for our Candidates up and down the ballot. Will Truman from the Democratic Party of Illinois will help lead these canvasses. He can also set you up to knock other days/times and anywhere in DuPage County. Sign-up here or email Will at wtruman@ildems.com. First-time canvassers are welcome (training is provided)! We've raised $4,125 so far towards our new goal of $10,000 for stipends for our summer interns. Please make a donation to the summer intern fund if you are able to. Because of the number of strong applicants, we plan to bring on about 20 interns to knock doors, lead volunteers, and build the skills to become future leaders. They will play a critical role in helping us elect Democrats up and down the ballot across DuPage County this fall. Invest in Our Interns Thank you! Reid McCollum, Chair All Upcoming Events Weekly Canvass for DuPage County Candidates  Come canvass with us every Sunday to support DuPage County candidates.
