Who We Are
The J Walkers Action Group, based in Montgomery County, Maryland, is dedicated to electing Democrats to office throughout the country by creating opportunities for volunteers to contact voters. Founded in 2017 by experienced volunteers and organizers who worked together on the Obama and Clinton presidential campaigns, J Walkers specialize in phone banking, canvassing, texting, and other voter contact activities. Since the pandemic began, we have been running virtual events. We work directly with state and federal campaign organizations to provide support where they need it most.
Building leaders is a key component of our work. We always welcome new volunteers, including people who would like to help lead our organization and our events. To contact us about helping to volunteering, leading, or hosting write us at jwalkers@jwalkersactiongroup.org.
