IMMEDIATE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES
Did you know that the Manitowoc County Democratic Party is managed and operated entirely by volunteers? As someone who shares progressive social and political values, we hope you can provide some amount of your time to advance the values you hold dear. Any amount of time you are able to provide helps tremendously.
The following describes current volunteer opportunities along with contact information for each.
Event Opportunities:
Host a Gathering:
Have coffee or happy hour at your home with your Democratic neighbors, or invite a group of your Democratic friends to meet with you at a neighborhood coffee shop or pub. We can help you organize such an event.
Contact Jennifer Hollahan – [email protected]
Canvasing & Transportation:
Enjoy walking for exercise? Try canvassing! We need to recruit as many volunteers as possible. This is one of our most critical tasks to win in 2025. Canvassing is actually fun. We will train you. Dem neighbors are happy to see us! Canvass once or one weekend a month. Train a new canvasser. Be a driver for a canvasser. Recruit friends to canvass with you.

General Volunteer:
Are you someone who enjoys doing the hands-on work of volunteerism? Are you that reliable dedicated individual with the time, skills and maybe some tools to get things done?

NEW Postcard Event:
On March 15th, mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses our opposition to him. We, in vast numbers, from all corners of the world, will overwhelm the man with his unpopularity and failure. We will show the media and the politicians what standing with him — and against us — means. And most importantly, we will bury the White House post office in pink slips, all informing Donnie that he’s fired.
Each of us — every protester from every march, each congress calling citizen, every boycotter, volunteer, donor, and petition signer — if each of us writes even a single postcard and we put them all in the mail on the same day, March 15th, well: you do the math.
No alternative fact or Russian translation will explain away our record-breaking, officially-verifiable, warehouse-filling flood of fury. Hank Aaron currently holds the record for fan mail, having received 900,000 pieces in a year. We’re setting a new record: over a million pieces in a day, with not a single nice thing to say.
So sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and see if your sincerest ill-wishes can pierce Donald’s famously thin skin.
