What to Bring for Petitioning

A checklist of what supplies to bring with you to lead a signature gathering shift.

If you need any materials, reach out to your Campaign Coordinator!

Supplies Checklist

• Petitioning kits for new canvassers

  • Two clipboards (one for each petition packet)

  • Each of the two petition packets (fur and slaughterhouse) for every new petitioner

  • *Note: Be sure to have some extras on hand, just in case someone brings friends along!

• Printed Canvassing Quick Guides for new volunteers

• Extra petitioning supplies

  • Petition packets (in case anyone has filled theirs)

  • Extra clipboards (in case anyone forgets theirs)

• Extra pens (black or blue only)

• Volunteer Contacts – be sure to either add activists' contacts to your phone, or make sure you're able to sign in to Stampede from your phone to send texts that way.

  • This will allow you to easily update volunteers in the event of any changes, as not all volunteers are active on Slack.

  • You can send texts to scheduled attendees using the steps below.

To use Stampede for volunteer outreach:

1. Navigate to the Events page in Stampede

2. Select the "Browse Events" tab, and locate your shift

3. Click "Details"

4. Click the "Text attendees" button at the bottom to send a message to everyone who has RSVPd

5. This will prompt the messaging app on your device to open

6. Write your message and send. *Any bulk communication is handled by the app and doesn’t cost you anything
