Official training for our National Voter Registration Day campaign with Common Power, Evergreen Goodwill, and the League of Women Voters! We'll cover voter registration as well as specific instructions for your upcoming shift with us -- this training is mandatory for all volunteers participating in the campaign.

Join us for a volunteer training focused on Deep Listening at the Doors. As we gear up for our canvassing efforts in CA-45, it's more important than ever to have meaningful, empathetic conversations with the voters in our community.

In this session, you'll learn the art of deep listening—how to slow down, ask open-ended questions, and create space for voters to share their stories, concerns, and hopes. These skills are essential for building trust, breaking through polarization, and truly understanding what matters most to the people we’re here to serve!

• What our new canvassing operations look like this fall

• Our brand new app for doorknocking!

Our launch will be in place of our Monthly Community Meeting. So whether you're a seasoned canvasser or brand new to fieldwork, this is the perfect moment to plug back in!

Shift 1: 11am-3pm
Shift 2: 2pm-5pm

We are confronted today in America by an attack on truth in education. It is an attempt by politically motivated individuals, government offices, and politicians to halt the full teaching of American life by eradicating fully truthful aspects of our past, present, and potential futures. At their core, such attacks seek to erase the triumphs of African Americans, women, LGBTQ+ Americans, and others who have been vital in the struggle for civil rights and voting justice. To this end, we have created the Educators for Democracy speaker series to teach truth and encourage action that brings to fruition an inclusive democracy.

In this VIRTUAL teach-in, we will feature five educators from across the country each quarter who will deliver thirty minute talks on some aspect of American democracy.The lectures will have a heavy focus on history and will work to connect the past to the present as they encourage people to engage in work that focuses on social and voting justice.

Presenters for September 2025

Samuel Agyare - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Fay Barber-Dansby - Anderson, Indiana

Kendra Egly - Spokane, Washington

Pia Payne-Shannon - Minneapolis, Minnesota

Steven Ragsdale - Columbia, Maryland

Political demagogues are unfortunately not new in American politics, but Donald Trump is the first to become U.S. President. And now he has done it twice. With Trump in this position and joined by an aligned national Republican Party, the harm to minoritized populations, rational debate, ethical government, the nation, and the world is devastating. In these lectures, I will trace the people and practices that paved the way for Trump, Trump's specific tactics, and why "politics as usual" is not going to save us.

Speaker: David Domke, Professor

Lectures both (a) will occur live at 5 pm PT on Sept 23 + Sept 24 + Sept 25 via Zoom, and (b) will be recorded for everyone to watch on your own timing. Registrants will receive viewing instructions in advance of the lecture via multiple emails.

There are three levels of registration for these lectures; the content is the same across the levels; the different price points are merely for you to pick the one you wish!

New and returning volunteers are welcome to learn about how we do FIeldwork at CP. We introduce the CP Way, our values and Fieldwork principles, how to navigate our door-knocking opportunities with the new administration and what’s coming up for volunteers to plug into.
