Issue No. 34

Hi there,

As the leaves turn here in New York and we wrap up October, there’s a special kind of magic in the air—and it’s not just the witches and wizards that keep ringing your doorbell today! 

Fall is a season that invites us to try new things and embrace fresh beginnings and transitions. Whether you’re considering a career change, kicking off that passion project, or ready to make your own eco-friendly cleaning products, we have the resources and the recipes to help you take that first step toward a big (or a little!) change. 

Now is the perfect time to let go and step into the unknown with excitement. What new things are you thinking about exploring this season?

Since today is all about going door to door, we’re featuring jobs that bring folks to your door for a different reason: canvassing!

Canvassing is a direct and personal way to engage with communities and drive awareness around specific issues, causes, or candidates.

With an election just around the corner, get involved with one of these temporary roles:

Canvassers with Forward Majority, The Outreach Team, Pittsburgh, PA

Voter Turnout Canvasser, The Outreach Team, Savannah, GA

Voter Turnout Canvasser, The Outreach Team, Virginia Beach, VA

 🎉🎉 And finally, we got a huge response from something new we tried last month, so please join us in celebrating our community! 🎉🎉
