Event Description: Democracy Camp Training with Swing Left Des Moines · Volunteer organized for Swing Left
Trump and his MAGA bullies are doing everything they can to dismantle our democracy—but we can come together in community and fight back. Together, we’ll learn how face-to-face conversations, whether at their door or out in the community, are the gold standard of engaging volunteers and turning out voters. At Swing Left, we believe that those conversations are more important than ever – and now’s the time to get started. Join us for a Democracy Camp training where we prepare to get out there this summer and start organizing in person to win.
Early conversations help us educate voters, combat misinformation, and show the community that we’re not waiting until right before the election to reach out. But the impact of a single conversation with a voter may only last a few weeks. That’s why, this early in the election cycle, we’re focused on innovative ways to have sustained or repeated contact with an individual, and engage voters and volunteers to share messages outside our typical activist networks.
Come learn more about how relational canvassing works and how you can get involved now to win in 2026.
