Take Action
STATES MATTER — NOW MORE THAN EVER
Our work is year-round. It requires a thoughtful, sustained effort to become educated, identify priorities, and develop strong relationships with grassroots organizers and national organizations that are on the ground. In 2026 we will continue to work in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire. Learn more about Lean Left’s 2026 Strategy and how you can get involved.
Lean Left connects Vermont activists with meaningful ways to protect voters' rights, engage and educate voters, and get the vote out. We welcome individuals as well as groups. If you are a member of a group that would like more information about the importance of working in swing states, check out our States Matter proposal and schedule a Lean Left presentation for your group. More information can be found here.

Power Hour —
Where the work gets done!
Sundays 4:00-6:00 PM
“Camaraderie," is how one volunteer described what she found at the Lean Left Power Hour. We gather every Sunday to make calls, share our experiences, and find support during these tough times.
Come and see for yourself. We provide you with resource materials and training. You’ll learn about why we’re making these calls, how to use the dialing tool, best practices for handling the script, and more. The most important thing you’ll learn? You’re not alone!
See below for current Power Hour actions.
Pennsylvania
