ServeNext’s first key strategy for candidate engagement is bird-dogging.
What exactly is bird-dogging?
For advocacy organizations, bird-dogging happens when activists follow candidates with persistent attention on their issue. For ServeNext members, the issue is National Service expansion.
See how easy that was? You can do it, too!
Here are some suggested questions:
- Will you support bold National Service legislation to expand AmeriCorps by at least 100,000 members?
- What is your vision for the expansion of voluntary National Service?
- What is your plan for leveraging AmeriCorps members’ service to address our nation’s most pressing needs?
