Activist Afternoons
It’s 2024! So GAI is joining forces with other local, grassroots organizations to offer a way for people to focus on actions. It’s an important year, and our strength is in our numbers. All are welcome!
Next Activist Afternoon: May 12
Meetings & Events
We organize a variety of in-person events and virtual meetings so members can meet candidates, learn about urgent issues from experts, or simply work on actions in a social setting.
Bring a friend!
Postcarding
Why postcards?
Effective - Hand-written postcards are read by the recipient and have been proven to work.
Convenient - You can pick up packets at several locations around town or at any of our meetings.
Fun - You can complete the postcards with friends, join us for postcarding, or do them at home in front of the tv.
Door Knocking
Why knock on doors?
Most people don’t want to knock on doors, but it is proven time and time again that nothing is as effective as a one-on-one conversation with a voter.
And similar to phone calls, we support canvassing that is carefully curated and simply requires we provide information.
Phone Calls
Why call people on the phone?
Effective - Second only to canvassing, phone banking works.
Helpful - We choose campaigns that are about providing information, you don’t need to change anyone’s mind. People appreciate the call.
Anonymous - Your phone number is protected.
Texting
Why text banking?
The easiest, fastest way to reach the most people
Anonymous and safe
We provide the training and set-up
Donate
Why donate?
If you’re short on time but still want to make an impact, there are a number of organizations and candidates who need your contributions, including us.
Demonstrate
Why protest?
Show of force - Make an issue too big to ignore, e.g. BLM, March for Our Lives, Women’s March
Show of support - Make it visible to people driving by that they are not alone
Inform - e.g. Remind people to vote
Vent - Sometimes when you feel helpless, standing on a corner with a sign can make you feel like you did something.
Learn
Check out our Listen, Watch, Read list of podcasts, shows, movies and books our members are tapping into to keep learning about these complex issues.
And if you have something that should be added - let us know!
