DSA and UAW are canvassing for Hugo in the General Election! It is now a two person race between Hugo Soto-Martínez and Mitch O’Farrell, and we are in the final stretch to November 8th.
Hugo Soto-Martínez’s candidacy is an incredible opportunity to elect a longtime socialist union organizer; to activate hundreds of our UAW and DSA members in a diverse, renter-heavy district; and to keep building coalitions with labor and broad social justice campaigns across Los Angeles.
Exact location will be announced soon, though it will be in the Echo Park/Elysian Valley area. If you’ve never canvassed before: we will provide you with a thorough training, pair you up with someone experienced/confident, and make sure you are comfortable going out. Don’t worry — we got you!
You will need:
- a fully charged smartphone
- water, a hat (optional, but a good idea)
- a mask — N95, KN95, KF94 strongly preferred!
- a tote bag/backpack (optional, useful!)
