Gloria Steinem Instagram – Campaigning is always an adventure. As a volunteer, I’ve done everything from envelope-stuffing and phone-banking to researching and speech-writing. I’ve spoken with voters at backyard barbecues and to crowds at rock concerts.
Volunteering as a citizen might include all of these activities, or something totally different. But no matter the task at hand, there is talking, listening, and figuring out shared solutions.
With under a month until Election Day, I’m revisiting an excerpt I wrote in 2016 about the lessons I’ve learned from decades of campaign volunteering. Read it via Substack at the link in my bio.
