Gathering Signatures for Gayle as an Individual Activist!
Thank you for wanting to gather signatures to get Gayle on the ballot! It’s time we show the power of our grassroots movement!
YOU are the future of the political revolution. As I go up and down the state I see your enthusiasm and hope for change and it gives me hope! Today we are kicking off the next phase of the campaign: together we will gather tens of thousands of signatures to put my name on the ballot and show the corporate candidates that only PEOPLE power will do! I ask that you join us in this effort as we show the strength of our grassroots movement.
This page is designed so that we can get projections from progressive activists like yourself as to how many signatures you can collect and how many events you can hold!
Overall we need to submit 7,000 valid signatures to get on the ballot. Thus, we are shooting for 20,000 to show our grassroots power! Our goal is that we can gather 9,500- 13,500 signatures through activating activists like yourself, getting the other signatures through partnering with progressive groups and organizing on campuses.
We will be kicking off our signature gathering efforts on Dec. 15th thru Jan. 22nd, running a 5 week long program. We are going to need dozens of volunteers like yourself across the state gathering signatures every week. To put it simply, to hit our goal of 9,500 – 13,500 signatures we are going to need 50 volunteers committed to getting 38 signatures a week, or 100 getting 27!
You can also look at the goals below in the following way;
27 signatures/ week (you can also look at this like 3 – 4 signatures a day)
38 signatures/ week (you can also look at this like 4 – 5 signatures a day)
These signatures can be collected from your family and friends during the holidays, co-workers, neighbors, and through canvassing your community. We believe you could get up to 20 signatures/hour in a local “hotspot” with lots of traffic.
We also ask that you host signature gathering events in your community. This will go in conjunction with your goal from above, but also serves as you stepping up as a leader to organize an event in your community with us! Together we would work together to manage and shift your event, making it a signature gathering extravaganza!
