DGG canvassing history
More actions
This page is for chronicling Destiny's participation and leadership in mobilizing the DGG community for political canvassing. While many different groups and PACs have often sought to use DGG's manpower, this page is specifically for "official" events attended or heavily promoted by Destiny himself.

PV houses
Progressive Victory organized houses in six states, staffed and led by DGG members, to canvass full-time for the entire 2024 election season. Some house leaders were hosted on stream multiple times to promote events. The idea for houses was originally brought to the community by Brianna Wu when she worked for PV, and DGG donated over $65,000 to PV to kick off the program.
