Field is important because often, the only time someone thinks about the candidate running for Congress is when an informed person knocks at their door and lays out how they’ll create change. That’s how I met Ben and convinced him to vote in the midterm! #il06#votingmatters
Timothy is new to the neighborhood but not new to voting. He’s hoping our next Congress works as hard on policy as he does on his car 🚗 #IL06#VotingMatters
Families who risk everything to seek refuge from violence deserve empathy and assistance from the wealthiest nation on Earth. Proud to fight back with 500 voices in the sweltering sun in Downers Grove, because #FamiliesBelongTogether
Canvassing is a process of developing true understanding for other people. The fruition lies in beginning to realize our kinship with every person in our community. #VotingMatters
When we are canvassing, we can become our community’s leading authorities on anger, jealousy, and self-deprecation, as well as joy, clarity, and insight. Everything our neighbors feel, we feel as well. #VotingMatters
Come through!!!! See the God I serve is a justly God and a jealous God to whom so ever dares to think he is above him. People of America, it is time to take this election by storm and remind D.C. who this country belongs to. #VotingMatters https://t.co/hXqE1E7wlz
Jose has never voted before because he hasn’t felt like there were candidates who spoke to the middle-class on the issues, but the chance to enact a progressive income tax has him excited to be participating in the process this November! #il06#VotingMatters
“I was sitting with my husband in the hospital. He was on his deathbed, and we were watching the inauguration on TV. I wasn’t sure if he could hear me, but I said, ‘Well Al, guess who our next president is? Donald Trump.’ And he sat bolt-upright and said, ‘we’ll see about that!’”
“In any encounter we have a choice: We can either strengthen our resentment or strengthen our understanding and capacity. We can widen the gap between ourselves and others or lessen it.” -Pema Chödrön #Canvassing#VotingMatters
I learned something interesting from this Environmental Studies student in Naperville— it costs $40/MWh to get electricity from a coal fired plant, but only $14/MWh from a wind turbine. Movement towards clean power is a great reason to vote @SeanCasten#il06#VotingMatters
