The Details

Fresno County Equality Team Canvassing (Equality Team Event)
Canvassing is probably one of the most important tools in our movement. It allows us to go to the neighborhoods and really let Fresno County know we are here! Canvasses consists of going door-to-door to ID voters. Most importantly, we want to talk to undecided voters who may just need to see a face and person associated with the movement to change their minds.

If we find even one more volunteer or one more undecided voter who makes up their mind to support us, then we have accomplished a great deal. There are currently 790,000 people living in Fresno County. The more volunteers we have the further our message can reach.

Most importantly, this is a way for the Fresno community to see that those in the LGBTQI and their straight allies aren't going to sit back and let rights be stripped from our citizens. Whatever your affiliation, when you approach a person to tell them about the Courage Campaign, you become a face for the movement. To that one person, you are the voice of the Courage Campaign, one they might remember the next time they are in front of a ballot.

Today is the time to act! Let your voice be heard. We need as many volunteers as we can get Fresno County is a LARGE county.

About County Equality Teams
  • Based on the volunteer-driven Neighborhood Team model that proved successful during the Obama campaign, our Neighborhood Equality Teams provide the opportunity for people to be involved at a local level in this important movement for equality.
  • The mission of our Equality Teams is as follows:
    • Establish an active and visible presence in the community for marriage equality.
    • Develop relationships with local elected officials and supportive organizations to create an opportunity for sharing resources and building local power.
    • Coordinate regular voter contact actions - including canvasses, phone-banks, tabling at community events, and registering new voters.
    • Represent the community in important state-wide actions, trainings, and conference calls focused on marriage equality.
  • Over the past six months, local activists have established 44 Equality Teams in 23 counties.  Those teams have hosted more than 140 events, knocked on thousands of doors and have held countless successful and moving conversations with undecided California voters.
