One PT canvasser for a day: $100

One PT canvasser for week: $500

And we have four groups to fund.

One PT canvassers for one week x 4 groups = $2,000

CVM can support Part time canvassers (4 hours a day) for the next 10 weeks.

$20,000 can support one part time canvasser x 4 groups

$40,000 can support two part time canvassers x 4 groups

$60,000 can support three part time canvassers x 4 groups

$80,000 can support four part time canvassers x 4 groups

$100,000 can support five part time canvassers x 4 groups

Our groups are doing different things…not just canvassing!

They are door-to-door canvassing in areas known for low voter turnout. They contact hard to reach voters with multiple passes. They are calling households on the phone; some are using text-messaging to reach a larger audience. To expand their reach, they go to popular swap meets and farmers markets, grocery stores and big-box stores, town hall meetings, community health fairs, high schools and colleges.

Dolores- opening 5 minutes

You have attended many Democratic Party Presidential conventions. How was this year’s Chicago convention different?
Do you see the Latino community more motivated to vote now that Kamala is the candidate?
What makes the CV unique and what are your thoughts on how the race is going?
How does the election look for Rudy Salas in CD22?

Dolores and Julian- 20 minute conversation

What would the election of the first Latino Congress member from the Central Valley mean to these communities? Have you seen that dynamic elsewhere?
What do Latino leaders see as the biggest challenges to increasing voter turnout in Latinos, in the Central Valley and elsewhere?
Why is supporting community groups important and what impact does their work have on voter turnout?
What is the best way to get out the Latino vote in the CV? What messages do you see resonating with, and motivating, Latino communities to vote?
What do you think about whether the focus on protecting reproductive rights works in Latino communities? or is it a mixed reaction? Do you see differences among age groups? Male/Female?
What national outreach efforts are being undertaken to engage Latino voters?
What else do you think is necessary to do to increase voter understanding and turnout?
Is there anything else you would like to share with our audience?
