All the wonderful things that have been happening in the field for the Green Bag Campaign, that’s what — what you need instead to make this happen is the wonderful, priceless support of kind, generous, and dedicated well-wishers, supporters, volunteers, the hundreds of folks that are donating to the campaign, and are spreading our message in the off-line and online world. Here’s just a sample of what’s been going on — get in touch with us if you want to be part of the action!
- In coalition with other Sierra Club-endorsed campaigns, we fielded a 100-strong grassroots army on August 1 to deliver our literature, hitting an estimated 9,000 doors. The Sierra Club Seattle did an incredible job putting this coalition together, and the energy from that event is giving our volunteer base a big boost of enthusiasm. In combination with the carrying of the 46th LD Dems, we have almost completely distributed our 20,000 doorbell pieces, plus getting out some of the mailers.
- On Aug 3, we had our biggest phonebank yet, with 15 people calling and helping out at the campaign office and putting us over 2,500 total voter contacts. A perfect setting for the NPR reporter who came and covered us this evening. Watch this space for more news on our NPR coverage!
- Our Facebook fan page has passed 1,000 fans and our Twitter feed is followed by 417. Spread the message — become a fan on Facebook and re-tweet our messages!
- PCC has now put out signs endorsing Ref. 1 at all their checkout stands. Whole Foods may be next…
- On deck: additional mini-lit drops Tues and Weds evening, Bag Monster rally on Weds, continued phone banking, and Duwamish River Fest this Sat.
Green Bag Campaign, onwards!
