Policy

Policy is the campaign’s internal issue library.

Use it to store issue positions, message guidance, and supporting detail that helps staff and volunteers answer questions consistently.

What belongs here​

  • issue summaries
  • campaign positions
  • approved talking points
  • supporting facts or context
  • references that help organizers explain the campaign clearly

When field teams use Policy​

Policy is useful when:

  • volunteers need a fast answer on an issue
  • organizers are preparing for canvassing or phone banks
  • the campaign wants message consistency across teams
  • staff are training new volunteers

Best practices​

  • Write for fast use, not academic completeness.
  • Put the core position first.
  • Keep issue language plain enough for volunteers to use comfortably.
  • Update policy pages when the campaign shifts emphasis or releases new messaging.
