Turn “I Don’t Vote” into the Start (not the End) of a Conversation
36% of eligible voters skipped the 2024 elections – but many of them support Democratic priorities. In this interactive online workshop, canvasser and volunteer trainer Elizabeth Chur, author of “The Joy of Talking Politics with Strangers”, shows you how to use empathy and friendly, nonjudgmental curiosity to successfully engage these crucial voters.
Swing Blue Alliance (SBA) and our grassroots partners supporting the Virginia elections are excited about this workshop just in time for the 2025 Virginia state elections. Take your skills to the next level! Whether you are a new volunteer, or experienced canvasser, or just want to be able to talk politics with neighbors, friends, and family, Elizabeth’s interactive training will provide you with strategies, insights, and practice for talking to voters.
Elizabeth Chur is a Swing Left San Francisco volunteer and former journalist and documentary radio producer. She has trained more than 2,500 volunteers nationally through in person and online workshops. For more information on Elizabeth, visit her website https://elizabethchur.com/.
