Won’t you join us?
Paul Clements is a climate change advocate who earned an endorsement from Daily Kos and Bernie Sanders for his unapologetic progressive voice. He is running against Republican incumbent Rep. Fred Upton's long-standing support of the fossil fuel industry and other dangerous, anti-science positions.
Saturday's canvass will be based in Saugatuck/Douglas. We will gather between 1:30 and 2:00 PM at the private residence of a Daily Kos community member just south of Holland for walk sheets, a brief orientation, and to carpool to Saugatuck. (Parking is scarce there on August Saturdays.) We will reconvene back at our staging location for a potluck dinner at 7:00 PM.
Sunday's canvass will be based in Kalamazoo. We will gather for a potluck brunch at 1:00 PM at a private residence of another Daily Kos member in Kalamazoo, then head out with our walk sheets after a similar orientation to canvass from 2:00 to 6:00 PM.
Here are the details:
