( KRON ) – Despite Kamala Harris’ perceived success in Tuesday’s presidential debate, her supporters are leaving no stone unturned in hopes of electing her for president.
Seed the Vote, a grassroots organization based in Oakland that launched in 2019, is training volunteers to go to swing states, knock on doors, and, if undecided, convince people to vote for Kamala Harris for president.

Oakland resident Kiki is one of the thousands of volunteers being deployed across the nation. “Anytime I have a chance to talk to people directly, I will do it,” Kiki told KRON4.
She claims talking to people in person makes a significant difference compared to over the phone. “To make eye contact with a person, and develop a comfort level so that you can talk to them makes all the difference,” Kiki said.
Kiki just came back from a canvassing trip in Reno and plans to go to Detroit and Phoenix later this month. She says her door-knocking ventures are a way for her to show the things that unite us rather than separate us. “We need to be able to talk to people, and listen, and not argue,” she said.
