CVI launched Conversing for Unity — a fresh approach to canvassing that focuses on genuine, non-partisan conversations with neighbors. Volunteers receive a stipend for their time, recognizing that this work matters and that people’s time has value.

The program trains volunteers to talk honestly, without an agenda, with people in our community. The goal isn’t to convince — it’s to connect. To find the one or two things you already share with the person across the doorstep, and build from there.

With mail-in voting underway and the midterms approaching, Conversing for Unity is putting CVI members into neighborhoods across the valley, one real conversation at a time.
