We’ve already been leafleting at a few San Francisco farmers markets, and it’s been a ton of fun. But we really want to be leafleting at ALL the farmers markets, every week! Several hundred people have signed up to do this kind of volunteering for the campaign. In fact, I have received emails from many of you over the last few months castigating me for taking too long to put you to work. I appreciate the pressure — and now here is your chance!
Please click here to join us at a farmers market soon!
Here are some upcoming dates and times we need help with:
Alemany, Saturday, August 30th, 10am-12pm
Clement Street, Sunday, August 31st, 10am-12pm
Heart of the City, Wednesday, September 3rd, 10am-12pm
Mission Community Market, Thursday, September 4th, 3pm-5pm
Heart of the City, Sunday, September 7th, 10am-12pm
Ferry Plaza, Tuesday, September 9th, 10am-12pm
Heart of the City, Wednesday, September 10th, 10am-12pm
Ferry Plaza, Thursday, September 11th, 10am-12pm
Sign up, and we’ll see you soon. Also, if you want more info before coming, you can join a virtual info session with our organizers.
If leafleting a public market isn’t your thing, we’re also looking for volunteers to contact people in their apartment buildings and their blocks. We’ll provide training, assistance, and our organizers will go with you the first time. Neighbors talking to neighbors is the best way to connect with voters about Saikat’s campaign. If you’d like to participate in this pilot program, please sign up here.
And yes, don’t worry, we’re doing another Saturday canvass this weekend!
* Canvass Day Details
Date: Saturday, August 30, 2025
Time: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Location: Saikat for Congress HQ — 800 Irving St, San Francisco, CA
RSVP here — or just show up!
Here’s a video to show you what a good time we had last Saturday:
Based on feedback from the past three Saturdays, we’ve made a bunch of improvements that you’ll find this week:
- Shorter, faster-paced training!
- Experienced canvassers will get their turf and be out of the office after 5-10 mins!
- Much shorter walks to the doors (sometimes VERY short!)
- More doors — no chance of running out!
- No more problems with overlapping turf!
- Plenty of extra turf if you want to go out for a long time!
- No more group debrief. Either come back with your feedback or just go home from your doors if you’re in a hurry.
This is the last week for a bit that we’ll be walking nearby the office in the Inner Sunset. Everything is just a few blocks from HQ. Starting next week, we’ll be branching out to many other neighborhoods and launching from different locations.
Again, if you came out with us last week, then we’ll send you right out and you can skip the training.
What to Bring:
- A fully charged smartphone
- The “MiniVAN app” downloaded from your phone’s app store (we’ll help if needed). If you have time, watch this video on how to use the app for canvassing.
- Comfortable walking shoes
- Water
What to Expect:
- Meeting other passionate progressives
- Learning to have impactful conversations with voters
- Helping to shape a campaign that listens and leads with heart
- Snacks!
This campaign only works because of people like you. Let’s knock those doors!
See you Saturday!
