Knock, Knock, Knockin’ on Voters’ Doors A 30-minute No-Fear Guide to Talking with Voters

VolunteerBlue.org is excited to bring you canvassing experts Elizabeth Chur and Carol Blaney. They’ll teach you how to have meaningful conversations with voters to flip Congress in 2026, one door at a time.

Canvassing is the most effective way to change hearts — and win elections. Since 2017, Elizabeth and Carol have talked with thousands of voters, discovering each person’s priorities and building connections that can turn into votes for Democrats.

Elizabeth’s book, The Joy of Talking Politics with Strangers, is packed with uplifting stories and practical tips for anyone who wants to help save democracy — even if the idea of knocking on a stranger’s door feels daunting! Her workshops have helped more than 4,000 volunteers to communicate more effectively with voters. Carol has volunteered with several organizations as a phone banker, trainer and canvasser and finds talking directly with voters the most rewarding political work she’s ever done.

In this practical 30-minute session, you’ll discover: How to have fulfilling (not fearful) contacts with voters Three magic phrases to transform any canvassing conversation Why door-knocking—and listening—can change Congress How ordinary mortals can talk with voters across the political spectrum (perfection not required)

Elizabeth and Carol will answer your questions and help you feel ready (and maybe even excited) to talk with voters.

Bring your friends — and join us in door-knocking for change!
