WAPP Get Involved

Back to Washington Back to United States

So you want to get involved and help out the Pirate Party here in Washington. We thank you for your interest and can't wait to work with you in making Washington a better state and America a better country. There are many ways you can help out and many are listed below but it is by no means all inclusive. If you don't see the thing you want to help out with you can contact info@wa.pirate.is and we'll help get you set up.

1. Canvassing is an integral part of any political party and involves knocking on doors, talking to people about the Pirate Party, its initiatives, and its candidates in their area, and putting up fliers. Canvassers also make sure people are registered to vote and sometimes hold block parties to rally interest in your neighborhood.
2. Running for national, state, or local office is another important thing you can do. We need candidates and there are so many positions you'd be surprised and many are vacant or uncontested. If you feel the officials in your city, state, or country aren't representing you and the people's best interest, you can run for office and fix your government.
3. Committees use different methods to spread the Pirate word, whether through press releases, research on current happenings in congress and state legislature, drafting legislation, or maintaining the website.
4. Joining, creating, or donating to a Pirate non-profit or PAC helps to fund campaigns of candidates with large voter districts or educate people about Pirate values. They place ads on billboards, TV, and fliers, sell T-shirts, put stands at local events, and much more.
5. Projects are start-ups that will become committees or something else. If you don't see what you're looking for you can suggest it in the discussion page or contact info@wa.pirate.is.
