The Uprise handbook
How organisers actually run a campaign – the scenarios end to end, and the managing in between.
These pages are about the work, not the software.
Scenarios
End-to-end walkthroughs of the things a campaign actually does.
- From network to doorstepThe whole pipeline in one place – network, campaign, turf, shift, doorstep, data, follow-up – and where it leaks.
- Your first 30 daysWhat to do, in what order, when the account is new and nobody has knocked a door yet.
- Running a doorknock weekendGetting twenty volunteers onto the right doors with the right script, and the data back clean.
- Launching an SMS programStanding up a texting program so the first send is one you trust and the hundredth is still welcome.
- Building a branching surveyAn instrument that follows the conversation and still produces comparable data.
- Growing a volunteer teamClosing the gap between the people who said yes and the people in the room on Saturday.
- Election day operationsOne day, no second chances – and the fortnight of preparation that makes it calm.
Managing
The ongoing work of keeping a campaign's people, data and obligations in order.
- Team, roles and accessWho can see what, who can do what, and keeping both correct as the team changes shape.
- Audiences and segmentsBuilding lists you trust, and the difference between an audience and a rule for finding one.
- Turf and walk listsSizing turf to a shift, optimising the walk, and knowing your real coverage.
- Compliance and opt-outsWhat the platform handles for you, and the judgement that is still yours.
- Reading your resultsReading a week of field data honestly, and turning it into next week's plan.
- Integrations and your dataWhere data comes from, where it goes, and the habits that keep one source of truth.
