Let’s get out and talk to the voters that will make the difference for Salem.
If you have never canvassed or feel nervous about canvassing, we can pair you with a more experienced canvasser. If you want to canvass in your own neighborhood, we can cut a custom turf for you. If you have mobility issues, we can give you a small turf in a flat neighborhood. Let us know ahead of time by responding to this email.
We talk to targeted voters that are likely to vote in a May election and are likely to vote for our candidates. They want to know, and need to know, which are the more progressive candidates.
Canvassing Schedule
Join the No Kings Rally on Saturday 3/28
Beat the crowd. Come to the Democrats Office at 10 AM to pick up a turf and literature. You can secure a parking spot downtown before other protestors and can complete your turf later in the day or on Sunday. The Democrats’ office is only four blocks from the protest.
Next Week -We are adding new canvassing times.

This is how we win — by knocking on doors and talking to friendly voters who vote Progressive. We’ll be doing it every Saturday and Sunday until the election in May.
On Saturdays at 10 am
Meet at the Marion County Democrats Headquarters
245 High St. NE Across from the Transit Mall
We canvass for Vanesa Nordkye for Mayor and for Linda Nishioka, Mai Vang, and Micki Varney for City Council
On Sundays at 1 pm
Canvass for Dave Inbody in Ward 4
Go here to sign up as a volunteer for Dave and get more information
If you are new to canvassing we can pair you up with an experienced canvasser. Please join us!
…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, February 7, 2026. Ron will share best-known canvassing practices, and a panel of extraordinary local canvassers will share their tips.

Saturday, January 10, 2026, at 10 a.m.
Marion County Dems Office
245 High Street NE
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.
