  • Canvassing 101, with Ron Morgan

    Organized People Can Beat Organized Money…

    …but not if there are not enough organized people. In the last Salem mayor’s race, an unprecedented surge of organized money beat the best progressive mayor Salem has had in a couple of decades.

    Be part of the organized people who beat organized money in May 2026. Start the New Year off right by attending Canvassing 101 with guest instructor Ron Morgan from DPO on Saturday, January 10, 2026. Ron will share best-known canvassing practices, and a panel of extraordinary local canvassers will share their tips.

    Canvassing Mentors Needed

    Be part of expanding Salem’s organized people. To win a mayor’s race, re-elect three outstanding progressive city councilors and win one more progressive seat on the council, we need more organized people knocking on doors.

    If you are an experienced canvasser, volunteer to have a less-experienced person walk with you to make canvassing seem less mysterious.

    If you would like to become a mentor, contact Kathy Graham at
    kgraham@willamette.edu or text or call 503-510-7123.
