It’s not a job itself that we are here for. We make it our job to speak up and protect our communities through engagement. We do this by opening a dialogue around solutions to problems like gun violence and inequality. That is why we canvass. Does everyone join? No. But if we speak to the issues that are important, and motivate a number of people to take a break from their busy lives to actively support something they care about, then why wouldn’t we?
