“This has been a really great experience to get to do meaningful work and have an impact” - Canvasser

“I have sharpened my leadership skills, gained more interpersonal effectiveness, communication, and persuasion skills” - Phone Captain

“Talking to people has become easier. I have more comfort with interpersonal communication, cold calling, and general conversation with people day to day” - Phone Banker

“[It] can be hard to be informed on [election] information, so [it] has been exciting to reach out to the community. Like talking to others and making them feel like their voice is heard, having a conversation with them!” - Canvasser

“For a lot of folks, a highlight is us being their first point of interaction with elections… they didn’t know an election was happening until we knocked their door, and inform[ed] them that they have an opportunity to engage.” - Canvasser

“[I] had never canvassed before! Learned a lot about people and having conversations about the same issues and hearing a variety of responses… [I’m] learning more about Asian American communities” - Canvasser

“I have had a chance to contribute to the meaningful work in making an impact in our elections, connect with the Asian American community in GA, and work with the loveliest group of people who go above and beyond in every way possible!” - Phonebanker
