First, you should decide how you want to participate. You can choose between

• making calls from campus on your own,

• hosting a phone bank for your chapter, or just among your friends if you’re not in chapter leadership, and

• knocking doors in Wisconsin.

Next, let us know how you want to participate so that we can send you more details, as they are available.

You find & reserve a space on campus, announce the event, and recruit your friends and chapters members.

We provide training, technical support, and access to a program that allows you to make calls to voters and record responses all within one app. We’ll also provide for and a prize for the top performer!

Plus, every chapter that makes 10k calls on March 8 will receive a custom, chapter-specific banner.

Here's the rough outline of activities. A detailed itinerary will be sent to registrants a few days in advance.

Friday. A limited number of flights are available. To inquire, please email staff@crnc.org. Additionally, partial travel reimbursements are available (see details below). We’ll provide dinner and likely have a few activities in the evening like making calls, stuffing envelopes, or assembling yard signs. You’ll check into your hotel room (provided by CRNC) that you’ll be sharing with another College Republican of the same sex.

Saturday. We’ll get up bright and early, eat some breakfast and have a quick kickoff. Everyone will receive training and education so they are fully prepared to engage with voters at the door. Once everyone is feeling confident, we will head out to knock on doors. We’ll take a break for lunch then head back out for a second shift of knocking on doors. After that, we’ll gather again for dinner and prizes. The evening will be free time you can use as you please.

Sunday. On there will be one final shift of knocking on doors for those whose departures are late in the day.

If you’re not available for the full weekend of events, you’re welcome to join us for any portion! There are 3 shifts of door knocking (Saturday AM, Saturday PM, and Sunday), and you're welcome to join for any or all of them.

If your travel is provided by the CRNC, if you’re seeking reimbursement, or if you are staying in a hotel room provided by the CRNC, you will be expected to knock a minimum of 100 doors.
