In October 2023, West Essex AYLUS worked with Fang Gong’s team to support Gong’s BOE campaign. Members worked with a LHS graduates who has pervious campaign experience to come up with a canvassing script and prepare answers for potential questions. The script and Q&A was submitted to Gong’s team for their edit. On Oct. 4th, members attended a meeting with a wider group of audience to further discuss and finalize the canvassing script and guidance. After the meeting, the first group of our members went to cavass using the prepared script and guidance.
