Had a great time canvassing in SC!

And yes, I'm so excited, I had to make a separate post rather than throwing this in randoms.  Lol.

We had a great, diverse group of 8 that traveled together from MD to Beaufort, SC.  Long drive, but it was enjoyable getting to know the people I rode with.  We knocked doors all day Saturday in downtown Beaufort.  Mostly lower-income, black people.  The overwhelming majority were still undecided.  But everyone was really nice, several people offered us drinks, and they really seemed to appreciate that someone was door knocking in their neighborhood.  One man said he'd vote for Warren just because we were there.

Sunday was a bit of a bust- it rained hard and the list was not very walkable. But I'm still so glad I went.  It was an amazing experience.

Oh, and Ayanna Pressley re-tweeted a photo that I'm in!  So I feel very celebrity-adjacent.  Lol.

And then I got asked to be a Call Leader for Warren.  I'm very hopeful that things will start to look up for her!

Yay! I'm so glad it went well. That's wonderful that so many people opened their doors!

What is a call leader? Like organizing people making calls?

Yes- I now get to call volunteers and ask them to volunteer again. Lol.

Between you and a friend of mine, you're steering me back toward Warren.

I'm glad you had such a good time! And I'm really looking forward to seeing the SC results before I vote.

I’m so glad you had a good time! I’m so all in for Warren that I’m starting to make myself sick with my own fangurly excitement so I love your updates!!

I'm glad you had a great experience canvassing! It's always fun when people answer and are receptive to what you have to say.
