5 reasons to door knock for !
Reason #1: Door knocking > doom scrolling
If you’re feeling hopeless about national politics, door knocking for Barbara Lee is something tangible you can do to preserve Oakland as a sanctuary city for all.
When we asked our neighbors to share one word about how they felt after this last election cycle, people responded with words like “wrecked,” “devastated” and “depressed.”
We’re all suffering from some collective trauma right now - and it’s all too easy to cope with that trauma by spending a lot of time alone, staring at a screen. But data shows that the more time people spend consuming negative social media content, the more distressed they feel.
Door knocking is a powerful antidote. Give your eyes (and your brain and your heart) a break from the screens and put your feet on the ground (“touch grass” as they say). Door knocking gives you exercise, fresh air, social interaction, and a sense of purpose.
C4C volunteers have shared that door knocking with us on a regular basis has significantly improved their mental health.
