167: The Last Canvass
So today I was informed that my organization was pulling it's DNC efforts out of the Minnesota office. The DFL (Minnesota Democratic Party) has decided to canvass throughout the state and asked the DNC to stop its operations. Apparently the 15 or so of us somehow posed a threat to their statewide efforts. It was a huge sucker punch to the whole office. The suddenness of it made it all the more difficult. Several of our top canvassers decided to stop working for us on the spot because they simply did not feel passionate about working for our other client, Save the Children. Truth be told, I need to work on building my own passion for Save the Children. It's an awesome organization that has an unparalleled ability to fight poverty in any location around the world, but it's not what I signed up for. I'm going to be trying to figure out over the next few days if I want to stay in the Minnesota office for another month or look to help open a new office somewhere else in the region that's more election-focused. Who knows what I'll do. I sure don't.
