Electoral Teams

Help Win Elections!

In partnership with Sister District Yolo (SDY) we have made thousands of voter contacts in each of the recent election cycles through three voter contact teams: Walk Team, Call Team, and Text Team. In 2024, we’re developing our fundraising as activism skills and adding a new Voter Education, Protection and Engagement (VEPE) Team along with new partnerships with the Bay Area Coalition and California Grassroots Alliance to add more capacity aligned with our strategies that will ensure our work is driven by the following priorities:

  • Protect our democracy by restoring the Blue Trifecta

  • Win back the US House by flipping key CA districts

  • Hold the Democratic majority in the US Senate

  • Elect Kamala Harris President

  • Expand reproductive freedom

Walk Team

Canvassing is the best way to reach people and turn out the vote. Whether it’s local or out of state, canvassing is where it’s at. The Walk Team will be knocking on doors to talk to voters in critical California congressional districts and in Nevada. If you’ve never tried it, come with us – we’ll make it fun and you’ll get a walk in, too!

Voter registration is also an important tool for the Walk Team.  We are organizing voter registration events at some of the local and Central Valley college campuses, strategically chosen in line with IY's electoral plan. Getting students to register to vote, for the first time, is setting them up for lifelong voting.

Call Team

Phonebanking creates personal connections that make a difference. Calling voters is the next best thing to meeting them in person.  If you can’t canvass, you can join with fellow volunteers on Call Team, a joint project of Sister District Yolo and Indivisible Yolo, to call targeted voters in our Zoom-based phone banks. You’ll be supported every step of the way with training on the tools, information on the candidates and new friends to work alongside.

Text Team

Is texting more your thing? Text Team, a joint project of Sister District Yolo and Indivisible Yolo, hosts text team meetups, in-person or on Zoom to support our community of volunteers who are using peer-to-peer texting to reach voters and elect progressive leaders. 

We’ve learned a lot, changed the face(s) of our political landscape, and made new friends – but it’s not enough – yet.
