Votebuilder is the software that many Democratic campaigns use to track their grassroots outreach. By attending the training session, you’ll have the skills needed to hit the streets as soon as campaign season kicks into high gear.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a first-time door knocker or a seasoned phone banker, we could all use a refresher on the latest campaign technology. Attendees can participate in person in the Joliet area (exact address given upon RSVP) or online via Zoom.
Click here to RSVP for the Votebuilder Academy on December 19!

The parade kicks off at 9am, but try to arrive around 8am so we can coordinate any tasks placement, handing out of candy, etc.
We do not yet know our placement in the parade, so check with the entry point volunteers to get a general idea of where we will be. We will have Jack the Donkey, so we should be easy to find in the line-up.
We are looking for volunteers to help with building this year’s float. If interested contact Carl Strathmann at 630.890.3460.
The Strathmann’s are planning a party after the parade at their place.
