... if you can stand it.

Biasco, “the outsider candidate” with only $600 in his campaign coffers, a mouthpiece for DeGroot? Yes, a mouthpiece. That “libertarian” clown — we’ll say clown, instead of what we really want to call him — was just saying loudly and bluntly what DeGroot has been saying, more subtly, all along. Make no mistake: DeGroot and Biasco have the same positions and policies: anti-woman, anti-choice, anti-LGBTQ, anti-POC, pro–demonizing Black and immigrant children (children!), pro-Big Oil, anti-environment, anti-economic security for working class people. 

DeGroot denies these labels, but just take a look at his policies. If the shoe fits, wear it! 

Paul DeGroot thinks that just saying he’s pro-choice is all it takes.
That’s not how it works, Paul.
THAT’S NOT PRO-CHOICE.

Together, DeGroot and Fiasco Biasco blamed Mikie and the Biden administration for every problem our country inherited from four years of Trump and two years of COVID, not to mention a global economic crisis.

So what are we going to do about it?

If we let our sleepy Dem voters sit this one out — if we don’t knock their doors to nag them about returning vote-by-mail ballots, and about early voting, and about Election Day — we’re going to be crying into our pumpkin spice lattes on Election Night, completely shell-shocked, having lost an election we have no excuse to lose.

Do you really want to have to listen to Fox pundits gloating
about “liberal tears” again, like they did after Hillary’s defeat?
Us either. The best way to avoid that is to WIN!

DO NOT TAKE A MIKIE VICTORY FOR GRANTED. 

WE are the activists who canvassed far and wide in 2018; the politically engaged people who are paying attention to what right-wing candidates are really saying. If we are lulled into taking Mikie's victory for granted, how complacent and unmotivated do you think your casual Dem neighbors are? The answer is "pretty damned complacent! pretty damned unmotivated!" 

WE NEED THEIR VOTES. 

We need to canvass them to remind them so. If YOU are not canvassing, who exactly do you think is? We need you to come knock doors so we don't get knocked on our asses by a highly motivated, completely not-complacent right-wing voter base that's lurking right under our noses here in CD11. 

These folks are not complacent. Are you?

Mikie’s 2022 campaign manager, Jackie Burns, was part of the campaign team we all knew and loved in 2018. She knows exactly how much potential power we have when we get out into the field. She knows how effectively we can motivate our neighbors to vote, if we only make the effort. Here’s what she had to say after Tuesday night’s debate:

“We’ve got 12 days left on the board and it’s all hands on deck in NJ-11. I saw firsthand in 2018 the power of NJ 11th for Change. We need your help again — knocking doors to talk to voters who are new to the district, who might not normally turn out in a midterm election, or who need a little extra nudge. Help Mikie land this! Sign up for a shift today!”

So here is our challenge to you:

COMMIT TO DOING ONE CANVASSING SHIFT.

Just one.

There are 12 days between now and Election Day.

That’s 2 weekends. Lots of weekdays.

Pick 1 morning, or 1 afternoon.

During a typical canvassing shift, 1 volunteer can knock on 50 doors.

Convince a friend to give it a try, and that’s 100 doors!

A well-attended canvass launch? 1000 doors, easy!

Pretty soon we’re talking real numbers!

And all we ask is for each of you to take one shift.

There are no end of opportunities to canvass. There are turfs in towns all over CD11 — in Morris County, Essex County, and Passaic County. There are Saturday canvasses, Sunday canvasses, morning and afternoon canvasses — and we have it on good authority that the campaign will set you up with a list to canvass on your own schedule if that’s what it takes.

Tell them NJ 11th for Change sent you!

Calling all volunteers! We're having a volunteers-only
gathering on November 5 to celebrate your hard work!!

Canvassing is the number-one most effective way to get people to the polls. Will you help? 

Just scroll down to our Events & Volunteer Opportunities listings below — or visit our “Vol Opps” webpage — for a curated list of times and places where YOUR time and enthusiasm is desperately needed. (AND for the Big Reveal about who is joining Mikie at the Saturday canvass in Bloomfield!)

If you’re not sure what choice would be best for you, email us here with “CANVASSING ADVICE” in the subject line, and we’ll help you navigate your choices. 

Democracy takes work.

There are only 12 days
left to get it done.

Let's GO!
