STV has a humility, energy, and strategy that makes me feel like whatever the election outcome is, we're invested in long-term organizing and building power. No work we do is wasted.

I'll be honest: I'm scared. If we can't take Congress back this year, I don't know what comes next for this democracy. That's why I got on a plane. That's why I keep knocking doors. I'm continuing to knock doors with Seed the Vote this year.

I'll admit that the hundreds of conversations with voters in this district created an emotional investment for me. Learning about our candidate clinched the deal for me. I was all in to get him over the hump of the primaries and into the general election in November, and that’s because of the training here at Seed the Vote.

STV really respects its volunteers and donors and keeps us well-informed. And I have always believed in STV’s model of long-term organizing; I have been a monthly donor since 2020. Supporting STV is the best thing I can think of to work to save and build our democracy.

Unlike a lot of canvassing experiences, I genuinely feel like this one makes a big difference. I feel like I'm not selling a candidate. I'm actually connecting with people.
