About Volunteer Teams
MVP grassroots partners are organizing their communities to get out the vote & build power. The best thing we can do is organize our communities to fund and support them. Join us!
Teams provide an ongoing structure to organize & fundraise for MVP.
Local Teams organize by town, state, or area; Affinity Teams organize by identity (e.g. “Jews for MVP”), vocation (e.g. “Lawyers for MVP”), association (e.g. “Harvard Alumni for MVP”), etc.
These teams offer:
- A way to build lasting relationships as a foundation for fundraising.
- Community, camaraderie, & connection with like-minded volunteers.
- A container for mutual support, encouragement, and growth.
- A way to be in ongoing solidarity & partnership with MVP-funded groups.
What do Local & Affinity Teams do?
- Spread the word and gather for national MVP events.
- Organize House Parties, concerts, & other events to fundraise for MVP.
- Make presentations about MVP to groups in your community.
- Welcome new, like-minded donors & volunteers into our movement.
