NJ to PA: Get on the Bus

Every Weekend!

The Montclair Dems has hosted over 700 volunteers that have knocked on 25,000 doors with 7,500 voter contacts. With your support we will reach our goal of 1,000 volunteers in PA  by Election Day. Join us as we knock on Doors in PA for Kamala Harris and the Democrats up/down the Ballot. In partnership with the PA Dems, we will send our volunteers to strategic areas in eastern PA. The buses will leave the Montclair area on Saturdays and now Sundays around 9 AM and return by 5 PM. We will travel approximately 1 to 2 hours in comfortable buses (with bathrooms on board).

No Experience, No Problem
On the bus trip to PA your Bus Captains will provide you everything you need to know to speak to PA voters.  We send you out in 2 teams of 2, so you are always with a partner. We pride ourselves on creating an wonderful volunteer experience.

About the Trip:

We have taken hundreds of volunteers to PA without incident. Our bus captains provide you all the information you need on the ride to PA. We train you on the bus on how to canvass safely and make it fun, including making sure you are comfortable using the technology.  We send you out in 2 teams of 2, so you are always with a partner.  You should never go anywhere that you are uncomfortable or feel unsafe. Watch the above Video to give you a sense of what it is like to come with the Montclair Dems
