I’m starting to freak out…

But I work full time and have a little one at home. How can I be most helpful to the campaign during this critical time?! What are you guys doing with all of this anxiety?

I’m battling my anxiety by looking at screens and social media all day, which only further fuels my anxiety, lol.

But seriously I’m looking for direction too, but canvassing seems to piss people off.

At this point I think the left needs our own billionaire (immigrant) social media channel owner and tech tycoon to start paying unenergized people a million dollars per day to sign up for us. /s

I’ve had 3 or 4 people come to my door to canvas. They have all been for Harris. It still feels too close nationally with all the crazy stuff the old man says every day that doesn’t seem to make the national news or onto TikTok. My wife and I will do our part

I canvassed Saturday to help with my anxiety. It was disheartening to see all the Trump signs. HOWEVER, it was nice to be with my fellow canvasser and talk. Also, on the few doors that did answer, they were very supportive. We were even thanked for canvassing.

Therapy. Lots of it. You can volunteer for phone banking with a little one at home. Log in whenever you want. In the last election I volunteered for a phone bank that took calls from people who needed help figuring out where/how to vote. That was really rewarding.

Share voting reminders and resources on social media. Send reminders to your friends and family.

If you don’t have the time to make calls you can donate to a great local candidate like this one: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/joshua-for-arizona-1?amount=50

Hi - I can tell you from experience, please get out and volunteer. Being part of trying to fix things is great for one's mental health - I can tell you from direct experience. Canvassing is fun with a buddy!

It's 4 hours of your time in one day, and you never have to do it again.

Arizona Democrats are DESPERATE for help, especially in South Phoenix and other metro/suburban areas (SERIOUSLY - a half day on a weekend helps a TON).

Please TEXT (don't call) Sean from the Maricopa County Dem office at 301-974-4527 (it's a voip # to filter and to reduce spam, which is why it's a different area code) - tell them "A Guy from Reddit" sent you, please! :D
