IT’S TIME TO TAKE ACTION

BECOME A VOLUNTEER

We mobilize volunteers to talk to voters through curated action opportunities. Common Power (CP) specializes in live conversations with voters at their doors, and building a community of committed volunteers.

The action we curate is purposeful to make an impact year-round, whether that is knocking on doors in swing states, or phone banking to cure ballots after an election.

WE’RE VOLUNTEERS FOR VOTERS

VIRGINIA ELECTIONS

This year, every single seat in the State House + Governor + much more will be on the ballot. Virginia is famously a bellwether state for the following midterm elections. And we can’t let the sludge that is our federal politics distract us from the importance of state and local elections on everyday people’s lives.

We’ve doorknocked with our New Virginia Majority since 2019 and we’re back again. Here’s what we’re doing:

January 3, 2025: Special Election

  • Loudon County. Done and won.

June 17, 2025: Primary Election

  • Trip Dates: June 13 - 18

  • Locations: Arlington and Richmond (at the same time, so pick one!)

  • Supporting candidates Ghazala Hashmi for Lieutenant Governor and May Nivar for VA-57

November 4, 2025: General Election

  • Sign ups coming soon. Pencil in tentative trip dates: October 31 - November 5

NEW JERSEY ELECTIONS

We’re throwing down for the Governor’s race in NJ. Even though NJ is considered a Democratic state, a lot of Republican dollars are invested to turn NJ conservative. Like tug of war, even if your side is holding on, if you stop pulling, you’ll lose.

June 10, 2025: Primary Election

  • Trip Dates: June 6 - June 11

  • Location: Princeton, NJ

  • Supporting candidate Ras Baraka for NJ Governor

November 4, 2025: General Election

  • Sign ups coming soon. Pencil in tentative weekend of action: November 1 - 2

SUPPORT ANOTHER VOLUNTEER TO TRAVEL!

IF YOU CAN’T TRAVEL

Consider helping CP bring another doorknocker instead! Sponsorships go towards transportation, lodging, and meals on the grounds for sponsored volunteers. We primarily sponsor Academy students and Institute Educators, our younger and more diverse pathways into the CP community.

RALLY, PROTEST, ATTEND EVENTS

Before it was this action or that event. Or this day or that weekend. Whatever you were doing before, you gotta do a tad bit more now.
