Block Walk Formula

Sunday – send thank you text to everyone (incl those that did not come)

“Thanks to everyone for your effort Saturday we visited X # of houses.  Y # of people signed the
petition.  Jon & Samantha had the most petition signers with ___.  Jackie and her daughter Julie
had the most houses with ____. Garret had the best door interaction story.  And the winner for
the best pic with a constituent goes to Jack!

Next Block Walk Prep:

Pick a park near where you will Block Walk and a local spot for post walk lunch.  People may
need to use the restroom and we can NOT go into people’s houses. Text time and address of
the next meet up to the group.

Friday night - reminder text “Looking forward to seeing everyone at 9:45am at Lake State Park”.
Recommend clothing based on weather. Comfortable shoes.  Ask them to bring a bottle of water
and sunscreen.

Saturday - Bring a pack of water. Maybe a healthy salty snack. You’ll be out for about 2 hours.

9:30am - 9:45am - meet, provide supplies and maps etc

Remind volunteers of the importance of what we are doing.

Let volunteers know there are a finite # of people in a House District. We will get to them.

Ask volunteers to get pics with people at their doors and stories to share.

Post pics to

Block Walk Photos

Post stories to the state block walk channel in Slack

Remind not to go into any houses and don’t place block walk cards in mailboxes.

Place newbies with veterans to shadow the first half hour but let them engage after that.

Pray for the group.

9:45am - head to neighborhood

Anyone who is late can meet you at an address in the neighborhood.

10am - Block Walk in groups of two (Block Walk Buddies)

Keep all groups in same neighborhood if possible (power of the group creates momentum)

Get pics with petition signers!!!

20 houses/hour per team is a good benchmark. However, numbers are not as important as
doing it as a team and having fun.

Teams that are having fun will

keep doing it

and will grow. A consistent growing team will get

more done than the most efficient little team. And they will form a habit that will allow them to
self govern in the future.

Wrap up by noon. Get numbers and maps from the volunteers.

Thank them for walking the walk.

Anyone who needs to leave should be done and on their way by 1pm at the latest.

Highly recommend grabbing lunch at a local spot with any volunteers that don’t have to leave.
Share stories from the block walk and recognize achievements.
