Canvass for Peter Ortiz

Where: Location shared after RSVP but in District 5 of San Jose
Kick off the first canvass of the election cycle with PPAMM! Primaries often have low turnout, but we’re changing that—one doorstep at a time. Join us for a beautiful morning canvass to get out the vote. No experience necessary, all are welcome regardless if you live in area or not, any time is appreciated and even encourage you to bring a partner! Peter has been a champion for reproductive freedom, working families, and marginalized groups. Let’s show up for him like he shows up for us. Get your steps in, bring a friend, and let’s get out the vote!

Publicly Share Your Story

We like to uplift a broad range of stories and perspectives to help show lawmakers, the media, and supporters just what we're fighting and advocating for.
