From Our Partners:

  • "Dirtroad Organizing energized our rural activists into thinking outside the box as they work to support their candidates."

    Cathy Albro, Michigan

  • "DO's drive comes from a heartfelt love of community and a dedication to truth and justice. Our screening of RURAL RUNNERS was wholly enriched by having them in attendance and added essential context and depth to the event."

    Liz McGregor, Maine

  • "Dirtroad Organizing was invited to a Zoom meeting both educating attendees on deep canvassing and encouraging participation in multiple New Hampshire off-year canvassing programs. The 250+ volunteers who signed up were treated to a lively discussion of DO’s roots, experiences and objectives with focus on the proven effective deep canvassing techniques of talking – and listening – to our neighbors."

    Rob Claflin, Kent Street Coalition, New Hampshire

  • "They excel at sharing the lessons and insights they have learned as successful climate change organizers. Relatable, honest, and motivating, they always draw interest and an audience. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with grassroots activists and inspiring new volunteers!"

    Katy Cutshall, New Hampshire

  • “They visited the Jesup Memorial Library in April 2023 to speak about their advocacy efforts. The lessons learned were practical and relevant, and the energy and enthusiasm were a fantastic complement.”

    Matt DeLaney, Library Director, Maine

  • “Deep Canvassing is an antidote for the political polarization of our times. Sharing stories, asking questions and listening gives us the opportunity to connect with our fellow citizens to achieve a more civil conversation in our local communities. DO is all about doing that.”

    New Hampshire Organizer

  • “Dirtroad Organizing is supporting the on-the-ground work that is truly fighting for our democracy. It was so great to have them join our local group here in New Hampshire to hear our stories, share their experiences, and start building the foundation for working together.”

    Knute Ogren, New Hampshire

  • What makes Dirtroad Organizing so valuable is their ability to listen to your needs, as an organization, and customize their trainings for you. DO is inspiring and thoughtful and doing the real work that needs to be done to bring about a more just democracy. We started with their uplifting film "Rural Runners" and are now collaborating on deep-canvassing trainings for our members.

    Janet Singer, Massachusetts

  • Dirtroad Organizing was a great help to our rural county. We are slowly making gains in our county by electing progressives to local positions and DO is helping us to step up our game. So great to have them behind us!

    Keira D., Benzie County, Michigan

  • We had many Chairs of our Rural Montana Central Committees on the Webinar. They were all appreciative and excited to learn. The audience left the webinar energized, activated and hopeful.

    Organizer, Missoula County, Montana

  • In an age of cynicism and despair, Dirtroad Organizing offers a radical vision of hope that is both uplifting and pragmatic. Honed by their demonstrated success in forging connections with rural voters, their approach has the potential to transform our body politic, one door at a time.

    Elizabeth Chur, California

  • Dirtroad Organizing offers so many lessons on how to build broad and inclusive movements anywhere. Big lessons about not giving up on anybody anywhere and small lessons about how to run a campaign and do everything from scratch. I know it will inform our group's work going forward.

    Pam Tellew, California
