Volunteers

We Need You.  Not Eventually; Now.

This campaign does not have a billionaire donor, a Super PAC, or a party machine behind it.  What it has is a set of ideas that deserve to be heard, and a growing number of people who agree.  If you are one of those people, we need more than your agreement.  We need your time.

Everything below is a real position with real work attached to it.  Some of these roles are urgent.  Some require specific skills.  All of them matter.  Read through the list, find where you fit, and reach out.

Where We Need Help First

The DNC has set the 2028 primary calendar: South Carolina on January 22, Nevada on February 1, New Hampshire on February 8, New Mexico on February 15, Michigan on February 22, and Virginia on February 29.  That means ballot access, ground presence, and volunteer networks in those six states are not a future priority; they are a present emergency.

If you are in South Carolina, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Michigan, or Virginia, your involvement right now has an outsized impact on whether this campaign gets off the ground in your state.  We are especially looking for State and County Organizers in those six states, but every role listed below is needed in every state.

What We Need

Ground Game

• State / County / Precinct Organizers:
  Build and lead the campaign’s ground-level presence in your state, county, or precinct.  You would be the person who knows the local landscape, recruits neighbors, and makes sure we are on the ballot and in the conversation where it counts.  This is the single most important volunteer role in the campaign.  In the six early primary states, it is existential.
  Expected commitment: 5–10 hours per week, flexible schedule.  Remote coordination with periodic in-person events.  Training and support provided.
• Community Pulse Takers:
  Gauge public sentiment on local and state-level issues through informal and structured outreach.  We need people who can listen systematically, at town halls, community meetings, and front doors, and bring back what they hear in a form the campaign can act on.  This is not polling in the professional sense; it is organized listening.
  Expected commitment: 3–5 hours per week, mostly local and in-person.

Message and Communications

• Communications Personnel:
  Help shape and carry the campaign’s message across platforms and media.  This includes drafting press materials, managing social media accounts, coordinating with local media, and ensuring our voice stays clear and consistent.
  Expected commitment: 5–10 hours per week, mostly remote.
• Writers:
  Draft, edit, and refine campaign content: issue briefs, social media posts, op-eds, newsletter copy, and web content.  Strong writing skills and a willingness to match the campaign’s voice (direct, specific, no jargon) are more important than professional credentials.
  Expected commitment: variable; project-based assignments available for those with limited time.
• Press Contacts:
  Serve as a local point of contact for media inquiries and help coordinate press coverage of campaign events and statements.  Prior media relations experience is helpful but not required; what matters is reliability, clear communication, and good judgment about what to say and what to refer upward.
  Expected commitment: availability-based; busier around events and announcements.
• IT / Website Personnel:
  Maintain and improve the campaign’s digital infrastructure.  If you can write HTML, wrangle a database, manage a CMS, or keep servers running, we need your skills to keep this operation functional and secure.
  Expected commitment: variable; ongoing maintenance plus periodic project sprints.

Research and Policy

• State and Local Issues Scouts:
  Research and report on issues that matter in your state and community but are not making national headlines.  Your job is to make sure the campaign understands what is actually happening on the ground, not just what is on cable news.
  Expected commitment: 2–4 hours per week, remote.
• Military and Government Liaison Personnel:
  Help the campaign engage responsibly with veteran communities, active-duty family networks, and government employee groups.  We need people who understand those communities from the inside, not as a talking point, and can advise on outreach that respects their norms and concerns.
  Expected commitment: variable; advisory role with periodic active outreach.

Events and Logistics

• Event Schedulers:
  Coordinate the logistics of campaign events: venue booking, local permits, volunteer coordination, timeline management, and communication with all parties involved.  This role requires organizational discipline and a talent for keeping multiple moving parts on track.
  Expected commitment: 5–8 hours per week during active event periods; lighter between events.
• Event Support Personnel:
  Be the hands on the ground at campaign events: greeting attendees, managing sign-in, distributing materials, handling setup and cleanup, and making sure every event runs smoothly from first arrival to last handshake.
  Expected commitment: event-day availability; typically 4–8 hours per event.
• A/V Roadies:
  Handle audio/visual setup, livestreaming, recording, and technical support for campaign events.  If you know your way around a PA system, a camera, or a streaming rig, this is your role.
  Expected commitment: event-day availability plus advance coordination.
• Drivers:
  Provide transportation support for campaign personnel, equipment, and materials.  Valid license and reliable vehicle required.  This is straightforward, essential work.
  Expected commitment: as-needed; event-driven.

What to Expect

No Busywork.  Every role listed above exists because we identified a real operational need, not because we wanted a longer list.  If you sign up, you will be given real work with real impact on the campaign.  If we do not have work for you yet, we will tell you that honestly rather than waste your time.

Support, Not Abandonment.  You will not be handed a title and left to figure it out.  Organizers will receive training on ballot access requirements in their state.  Communications and writing volunteers will receive style guidance and editorial feedback.  Everyone will have a point of contact on the campaign who answers when you call.

Respect for Your Time.  We know you have a job, a family, and a life.  Expected commitments are listed above so you can make an informed decision.  If your availability changes, say so; we will adjust.  No guilt, no pressure.
