Two Granite Staters knock doors for a cause, meeting voters face-to-face
Concord residents Joanne Casino and Dave Cawley haven’t had a quiet weekend since July. They’re two of the nearly 125 volunteers from Kent Street Coalition who have been out knocking doors, urging their neighbors to vote on Nov. 5.
Kent Street is an all-volunteer, grassroots advocacy group working to defend democracy, that was founded in the aftermath of Donald Trump’s election in 2016. Their team of canvassers knocked on almost 800 doors in Pembroke last weekend alone.
Cawley and Casino have been going door-to-door, doing three shifts a day from morning until sunset every weekend to talk to voters about the issues. They said they’ve also been highlighting the importance of voting all the way down the ballot.
“The 400 state reps make really key decisions about the nature of life in New Hampshire. And these folks make a hundred dollars a year,” said Cawley, who has been involved with Kent Street since its inception. “So our volunteers are the ones who have been continuing [to go door-to-door] and say, ‘Hey, you really should vote for [a particular candidate] because if reproductive freedom is a statewide issue, we’ve got to make sure that we control the legislature.”
