It’s a bright Saturday afternoon and your canvassers are out doing the good work knocking on doors and spreading the word about the upcoming election. Neighbors might see things differently – there are people with tote bags going house to house! More suspicious neighbors might call the police to come check things out.

That’s where this Turf Clearance letter comes in. This letter is a heads up to local law enforcement that your team will be out exercising their first amendment rights. We can’t stop neighbors from calling the cops, but interactions between canvassers and local law enforcement can be streamlined with forward thinking and proactive, transparent communication from your team to theirs, and this tool will help get the ball rolling.

A letter organizing directors or canvass managers can send to law enforcement to let them know to expect canvassers in the area. Canvassers can carry copies of the letter with them as well.

Who is this for?
Organizing Directors, Canvass Managers, or others who are responsible for launching canvass operations or managing canvassers.
