Introducing: Lit Drop!

About our lit drop program

Get your steps in without knocking doors – just leave lit at voters’ doors whenever it’s convenient for you!

You can leave lit (our flyer about the extreme right-wing takeover of our NC courts and the awesome Democratic candidates running for statewide judicial races this year) at left-leaning voters’ doors anywhere in North Carolina.

Just leaving lit at doors, even if we don’t talk with anyone, helps increase turnout and down-ballot voting among left-leaning voters. Our lit sheets also draw attention to critical races that many voters skip.

We have now had two recent NC Supreme Court races that were decided by less than 1,000 votes out of more than 5 million ballots cast – and about 150,000 voters who came out to cast ballots skipped the court races. So it’s critical that we let voters know about these elections and why they matter. In 2024, we were able to cut ballot dropoff in half in the blue precincts we fully saturated.

Here’s how it works.

  1. Sign up to drop lit wherever you are in NC, and we will find a walkable area near you that maximizes left-leaning voters.

  2. Download the MiniVAN app for iPhone/iPad or Android and create an Action ID.

  3. We’ll send you a list number to enter into the MiniVAN app. This will give you a map and voter list of which doors to hit based on targeted voter data.

  4. You’ll get one turf to start unless you request more. Each turf takes about an hour.

  5. Pick up your lit, or we’ll mail it to you. If you’re in Durham or Chapel Hill/Carrboro, we have porch pick-up locations near you. If you live in another area, we will mail the materials to you.

  6. Leave lit at the doors on your list at your convenience. You can roll it up and slide it through the door handle or leave it under the mat. Just don’t leave it in the mailbox – that’s not legal!

  7. Be sure to mark the doors off in the app as you go so we know which voters have received lit and which haven’t.

  8. Let us know if and when you’re ready for another round! If you’d like to drop lit regularly, we can provide multiple list numbers and stacks of lit at once.
