drew Goldstein will be focused on a critical technique that all of us should be aware of and if at all possible engage in – Deep Canvassing See immediately below for their bios. Looking forward to seeing you there!!
Dave Fleischer directed the team that pioneered deep canvassing, an approach to voter persuasion that gets more people on our side and voting even when more conventional approaches fall short. He is currently helping Changing the Conversation Together (CTC) as it deep canvasses in Philadelphia, as well as meeting with groups in Wisconsin who are curious about deep canvassing in cities and neighborhoods in the southeastern part of the state where voter turnout tends to be very low.
Andrew Goldstein is a primary care doctor at Bellevue Hospital in NYC and is an activist and organizer in several health justice spaces including the NY Doctors Coalition and the Doctors Council/SEIU union. Knowing that elections have big stakes, he started participating in deep canvassing election work in 2018, and has since been involved in helping organize deep canvassing campaigns in 2020 and 2024. As a doctor, he’s seen how deep canvassing overlaps with the medical tool of “motivational interviewing,” both rooted in respect, patience, listening, and facilitating action and habit change, and he hopes to engage more workers with this skill set in more election work.
