Because Protecting Democracy Takes all of Us
Volunteer for a Grand Democrats Committee
You can make a big difference for Democrats this November!
Grand Democrats is looking for volunteers to help drive up voter turnout this election.
GOTV stands for "get out the vote" and signifies a concerted effort to register voters and increase voter turnout during elections.
Whether you want to write postcards from the comfort of your home, help mail or hang our critical "Golden Ticket" voter guides, or make phone calls to fellow early voters—we have a role that fits your schedule and comfort level.
Check the box next to any and all projects you’re interested in joining below. A Grand Democrats Elections Committee team member will reach out to you.
Volunteers are the driving force behind every successful campaign. Every postcard, every call, and every volunteer matters. Join us today!
