October 19th 2008—Door to Door with Pamelya
I had the pleasure of spending the day shadowing Pamelya Herndon today in Albuquerque. Pamelya, who was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention, went out door knocking with the Tom Udall campaign. In the video on the WOCU You Tube Channel you’ll see Pamelya going from door to door talking to community members and informing them of early voting options and nearby locations. She also talks about what’s important to her, including the economy, health care, and education. She also speaks of the importance of civic participation of women of color, so that the system can be responsive to its inhabitants. Pamelya also shares her path to being a delegate to the DNC. Pamelya being very politically active, also took me to a planning meeting of women who were working on assembling a gathering of women in a couple of weeks to promote women’s civic engagement.
Another word to the wise, in terms of matching ability to activity, if you have any type of dog related phobias, canvassing is not the avenue of civic engagement for you. J
When we returned to the Tom Udall office to report on our canvassing and return materials, I interviewed Caren Howard, who was originally from Maryland but ended up working for the Tom Udall campaign as an organizer. She tells her story on the WOCU You Tube Channel.
After interviewing Caren I departed for the 7+hour drive to Tucson.
