“I felt so happy
when [Biden] won,
that it had all been
worth it,” says Maria
Orozco (second from

the Culinary Workers
Union. From Aug. 1
to Election Day,
canvassers like her
knocked on 500,000
doors in Las Vegas
and Reno, according
to the union.

This election was
“like the organizing
Super Bowl,” says
Vanessa Velazquez
(right) of Detroit
Action, a grassroots
advocacy group. The
organization formally
endorsed Senator
Bernie Sanders in
the primary, but
later encouraged
voters to support the
Democratic ticket.
