What: Canvassing works! It’s the best way to get voters to the polls for Democrats. Come out on Saturday to volunteer with the New Trier Dems and Tenth Dems, who welcome those who have wanted to canvass, or have been wary about trying. You will get donuts, a brief training and a walking partner — or bring one!
