LGBTQ activists canvassed in a red state. The conversations surprised them.

A group of LGBTQ activists spread out across Missouri in the final days before the presidential election. Residents had viewpoints that did not fit in neat partisan boxes.

The Washington Post

From their canvassing efforts, Richardson and their team learned a few important lessons:

Assumptions about Community Sentiment Can Be Misleading: Richardson initially assumed that Missourians would largely oppose trans rights. However, through persistent conversations, they found many were willing to listen and even felt some empathy, especially when they had personal experiences with marginalized healthcare access.

β€” (1/5)

Personal Connections Matter: Simple gestures, like showing a picture of their cat or finding common ground, often helped Richardson connect with individuals, which made discussions on sensitive topics smoother and allowed for open dialogues on LGBTQ issues.

Impact of Storytelling and Shared Experiences: Conversations where people shared personal stories, such as the woman whose daughter had HIV, became turning points.

β€” (2/5)

These exchanges helped reshape opinions, demonstrating how personal narratives foster empathy and understanding, which can sway opinions on political and social issues.

Persistence in Advocacy: Despite frequent opposition, occasional hostility, and uncomfortable interactions, Richardson realized that canvassing and one-on-one discussions allowed for meaningful shifts in perception, one conversation at a time.

β€” (3/5)

The Value of Building Resilience: Richardson's personal journey, from feeling fear to confidently advocating, underscored the significance of finding internal motivation for the work.

This resilience became essential in continuing their advocacy despite challenges, and they observed that canvassers who connected their work to personal beliefs and values were more motivated to continue.
