Deep canvassing

Deep canvassing is when people go door-to-door to talk to others about issues that are important to them, like politics or social justice. It's called "deep" because instead of just trying to persuade someone to vote for a particular candidate or support a particular issue, the canvasser tries to have a deeper conversation and truly understand the other person's perspective.

Imagine you really like chocolate ice cream, but your friend really likes vanilla ice cream. Deep canvassing would be like asking your friend why they like vanilla, listening to their reasons, and then explaining why you like chocolate. You might not change their mind, but you'll both understand each other better.

Deep canvassing is important because it can help people feel heard and respected, even if they disagree with you. It can also help people make decisions based on more than just what they see on TV or hear from their friends. By having deeper conversations, we can learn from each other and hopefully make the world a better place.
