Tuesday, September 15 at 5:30 pm, Thursday, September 17 at 5:30 pm and Sunday, September 20 at 1 pm. Canvassing with Rich and Dorothy. 214 Ball Park Blvd. NW. There are just TWO WEEKS left for this GOTV effort. Join IGGR as we knock on doors in GR Ward 1 (NW side) to share information about Democratic endorsed candidates, including the non-partisan candidates such as judges, in the November election. Low pressure canvassing, no need to convince anyone, just provide voters with a recommended slate of progressive candidates. People actually welcome this information! IGGR has been assigned Precinct 14 -- let’s get out there and spread the word to all the voters we can in that area. Sign up here. Canvass dates: Sundays at 1pm, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at 5:30 pm thru September 27.

Wednesday, September 16 at 6 - 8 pm. IGGR Get Out the Vote Pizza Postcard Party. Fountain Street Church, 24 Fountain Street NE in Room 109. The IGGR community is getting together to write and address 2100 postcards to voters in low voter-turnout precincts in Grand Rapids. We need these voters to turn out and vote if we want to be successful in getting progressive candidates elected. We will be serving pizza and beverages. Please RSVP so we know how much pizza to order.. Sign up here

Bonus: Fountain Street Church is an ArtPrize venue and will include works in both the Social Hall and Keeler Gallery. Come early to check out the artwork!
