Love that these series come out Sunday mornings when I’m signed up to canvass, it helps push me over the edge sometimes, there are definitely ups and downs. My version of the drunky trump girl getting me down was reading a contentious Phoenix reddit thread with people complaining about canvassers ignoring no solicitation signs. Also, same about being awkward when meeting these people at campaign events - I met Jon Lovett from Pod Save last month and it was so clear I didn’t know what to do that HE took a selfie on HIS phone and then I said thanks walked away 😅

Just wanted to thank Joy for all she's doing, it's amazing.

Connor Rock

Thank you Joy, for all of your doing!! I’ve been texting voters in NC, AZ, and FL. There’s actually quite a lot of passion for the Harris/Walz ticket and Democrats here in central Florida. My plan is to go canvassing here this coming week.

Brandon Lee Tenney

I think that response to the issue of men’s votes is indicative of the problem and exactly what that tweet was talking about. I share similar fears, Dave.

I have prayers that Florida goes blue!!

Connor Rock

I will take all the prayers and positive energy we can take! Thank you!! 🙏

These updates are great. One of the few podcasts every week that brings something unique to the political podcast space.

Hey Joy— a friend of mine is heading to PA via Philly Tuesday—Friday to canvas, with no plan. They’ll have Weds and Thursday available. Do you have thoughts on how their time would be best spent or who to connect with? Thanks!

Connor Rock

I just finished my first ever canvassing! I was so anxious about it, but once I got through a few houses it became a lot of fun. I got several households to sign up for volunteering and one of them a yard sign! Thank you so much for helping to inspire me to do this!

Joy o Napping

Hi Eric! Can you please drop your email and I can send some thoughts! Will they have a car and are they based in a certain town (you said via Philly so I wasn’t sure what that meant)

Eric Wilson

Thanks! 🙏 They haven’t made plans to rent a car but probably could. Coming into and out of Philly, but don’t need to be based there. ericw@pm.me
