Saturday, August 13, meet at 10:00 am to canvass in Fulton County for Kelly Coffman.
Saturday, August 20, meet at 10:00 am to canvass in Gwinnett County for Jasmine Clark.
We’ll follow up with additional details including our meeting location and your canvassing assignment. Never canvassed before? Never fear! We can provide training and mentoring.

Postcarding for Jasmine Clark will resume the week of August 7.
The postcard campaign focuses on people who are new to HD 108 as a result of redistricting.
The message introduces them to Jasmine and alerts them to the upcoming election.
As soon as the cards arrive, Kate King (a co-lead for Necessary Trouble's postcarding work) will send out a "Call for Action" with instructions about getting, writing, and mailing the cards. To sign up to do postcarding with Necessary Trouble, email Kate King at katekinghd@gmail.com.
