East Stroudsburg: WIN PA8–Ground Truth Deep Listening Canvass w/ TMNYC

Join Target Majority (a local Indivisible & Swing Left Group) for a Ground Truth canvass in must-FLIP PA-08.

We are knocking every door and identifying persuadable voters who Dems normally don’t contact, in order to elect Paige Cognetti in a true toss-up race in a Trump ’24 district where she’s recently demonstrated a 1-point lead.

To help Democrats rebuild trust, win tough races, and flip the House, Swing Left has launched an [innovative new program](https://ourgroundtruth.org) that will revolutionize how we connect with voters and potential voters at their doors.

At this canvass, we’ll:

– Knock on **every door** in the neighborhood, not just the voters campaigns usually talk to

– Have real conversations that **listen deeply** to voters’ concerns, identifying net new voters for the Democratic Party and candidates

– Add these new voters’ partisanship scores, likelihood to vote, and contact info directly into the Democrats’ voter database so they will follow up with persuadable folks

– Gather insights to share with campaigns, so they can be responsive to people’s needs and smarter with their messaging, targeting, and outreach

Don’t worry if it’s your first time—training, materials, and support are all provided. Just bring comfortable shoes, a charged phone, and your passion for making a difference.

**About the program**

This isn’t traditional canvassing—it’s a whole new way of talking to voters. Together, we’ll gather authentic insights from communities, use cutting-edge tools to capture what we hear, and share it back with campaigns to strengthen their efforts.

– *Why we’re started early and will continue every year:* We launched a year ahead of the midterms to build power before campaigns got off the ground. Likewise, we’ll continue this important work through 2027 ahead of 2028. (And beyond.)

– *How we’ll go big:* knocking every door, not just the ones the voter database tells us to, so every conversation builds a more complete picture of the electorate.

– *How we’ll go deep:* practicing empathetic listening and real conversations that uncover voters’ internal conflicts around voting and around party affiliation, getting to the “ground truth,” not just checking boxes on a script.

**A core principle behind all Target Majority events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.**
