Volunteers with the Center’s Vote for Equality (VFE) team canvass neighborhoods and have conversations with voters about the freedom to marry for same-sex couples. They’ve already had more than 2,000 conversations—and that number is growing rapidly!
“I'm totally on fire doing this" says Marni Zimlin, who volunteers for VFE full-time. "I really value the integrity and standards of VFE and I'm proud to be a part of it. Talking to folks who are unsupportive and moving them one or two steps toward being supportive is incredibly rewarding.”

Each Vote for Equality canvass begins with a full training; no experience is necessary. Lunch is provided. The next canvass will be on Saturday, July 11. Sign up now, and help change hearts and minds for marriage equality!
