We've said it before and we'll say it again... its the best way on the best day. Best way because its face to face communication with voters, and its the best day because its the day when people expect strangers to come to their door, knock on them, and ask for something. This year, don't just ask for candy, ask for votes!
30 Cities and 12 States across the country are hosting this Halloween Canvas Extravaganza that gets young voters involved by canvasing in a fun and unique way. The plan is 100,000 doors, and we expect there will be even more than that as the cities hosting the event have grown by leaps and bounds in just a few short months.
Some states, sadly, aren't doing the program... I'm looking at you Kansas and Oklahoma (despite my push for YD's and local candidates to consider the program). But those that are will reap the benefits (pun intended) of a huge number of young people doing something you hardly ever have happen... canvasing on a Friday night.
The best thing about a program like this, other than its funness, is its proximity to Election Day. Just a few days from one of the most important elections in our nation's history young people are stepping up not just on the weekend before, not just the day before, not just GOTV the day of... but on the Halloween before.
