Our Story
Navigating the vast landscape of volunteer opportunities on one’s own can be confusing and overwhelming: What are the highest priority races? How can I help most effectively? How will I know what to do? Who will be there volunteering with me?
Knock for Democracy helps those who feel paralyzed by the process of political partipation, providing an easy, accessible, and fun way to get involved in important elections. We’ve fostered a tight-knit community of dedicated volunteers who’ve knocked on tens of thousands of doors and made millions of calls to voters across the country.
There is still an enormous amount of work to be done to repair our democracy and build a better future for this country. We’ll be doing this important work for years to come, ensuring that anyone who wants to get involved in electoral politics has a welcoming home for taking action.
Our Team
We come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences—mostly outside the realm of politics! We, like you, are citizens who care deeply about our country and are committed to driving change through direct action.
