Suburban Red breakout (cont)
Post-Caucus
be ready to assign voter ID and voter reg tasks at the caucus. make the task assignment part of the caucus agenda.
provide a printed calendar of events.
but the real job is follow-up. call them all, make contact with each one.
invite them to regular party stuff and make that party stuff interesting.
consider having a special program at the next CC mtg to bring people out.
make your invitation attractive to the indep rather than the YD dem. invite based upon the issues and their desire to change things.
start running activities of "progressive" documentaries and movies, as a community event work the discussion sessions after.
survey addresses of observable school-bond supporters. Easily done at the pct level.
an interesting approach is to ask people who voice progressive interests who they think are the democrats they know. when you contact the second party you can use the recommendation of the first party as an introduction.
use college campuses and high traffic area to collect new registrants.
get with the HS civics teachers to get them to run registrations in their classes.
furthermore, get some civics 101 material developed to help increase registration
it's the registration follow-up that makes the difference.
