1. Complete our 2026 Housing & Safety for All Survey!
Current or recently displaced residents of Nashville are invited to complete this brief 5-minute survey as part of our ongoing Housing & Safety for All campaign. Responses will help shape the 2026 phase of our campaign!
Survey officially closed March 23, but we still welcome late submissions.
2. Knock doors or Phone Bank with us!
Why We’re Canvassing
The purpose of our outreach will be to engage and organize Nashvillians directly impacted by housing unaffordability, criminalization, and a lack of authentic community safety.
These outreach efforts are an integral part of our ongoing Housing & Safety for All campaign and are designed to build our collective power to improve life for everyday working class Nashvillians.
All delegations are led by trained canvassers and volunteers canvass in pairs.
Script / talking points provided.
Each canvassing session will be approximately 2-3 hours long and will include:
- A brief training at the beginning
- 2 hours canvassing (door to door or event canvassing) in pairs
- A brief debrief with other canvassers and organizers after canvassing
- Swag!
Want to knock doors in your own neighborhood? Want to text all your friends? We’ll set you up!
