Volunteer for a Progressive Toronto

The right and local conservative politicians are working hard to bring back to the status quo of harmful cuts and underfunding vital city services. All while Doug Ford is passing legislation that makes life harder and more unaffordable for people in Toronto.

Whether it’s taking away renter protections, advocating for service cuts, helping out their rich friends, or mobilizing hateful rhetoric: conservatives are mobilizing to take back power in the upcoming election.

That’s why we need to be out talking to as many people as possible to hold conservatives accountable and build a more progressive city. Join us to talk to people across Toronto about housing, services, and other issues that matter to them and help them take action.

Here are the ways you can volunteer to help:
1) Knock on doors inside apartment buildings (and out of the cold) to talk to renters.
2) Make calls at home to help people to take action.

Never door knocked before? Don’t worry! We will give you support, training, and pair you with an experienced volunteer.

For the online phone banks you will need access to a computer and, if possible, headphones to make the calls. If this is your first time phone banking with us, we will provide a quick training on Callhub (our online phone bank tool).

Accessibility Information

If you have any access needs, please let us know at the bottom of the sign up form. Access needs are defined as anything a person may need to communicate, learn, and take part in an activity.

Phone banking requires using a computer and having conversations with the public for multiple hours. Door knocking requires walking, climbing stairs, and standing for roughly two hours.

We are implementing disability justice in our framework and are constantly learning and growing. If you have any questions, suggestions, or need any further information, please reach out to us at volunteer@progresstoronto.ca.
