Field playbook

How county, city, precinct, and neighborhood teams fit together — same three roles at every layer. Start at Join the Field Team if you are new.

Volunteer field guide. Use campaign-approved messaging. When in doubt, ask HQ before sharing process or legal details.

Neighborhood / block team — responsibilities & cadence

Achieve density — repeated, friendly visibility in a walkable zone.

Block / zone lead (often also one of the three coordinators).
Events: porch series, yard sign density plans (where allowed), “neighbor hours”.
Social: micro-stories; highlight neighbors doing the work.
Relational: Power of 5 inside one church roster, one apartment stack, one subdivision loop, etc.

Map — which doors/porches/community hooks are “warm” this week?
Do — 3–5 live conversations (voice or in-person) with clear next steps.
Show — one visible community moment (tabling, coffee, group cleanup, partner room).
Tell — one localized story online that invites others in.

Never argue on doorsteps — de-escalate, thank, leave.
Pair newer volunteers when possible.
Follow HQ guidance on photography, minors, private property, and data handling.

Spin a second triad when warm contacts exceed weekly follow-through capacity — not when drama spikes.

If someone moves or steps back, hand off lists in a structured way (campaign coordinator witnesses if required by your program).
