Over the past two weeks, we’ve launched a lot of exciting projects as part of our election campaign: metro, campaign cars, "Navalny to Every Home", "Moscow Stay Network", "Campaign for Moscow" And there’s more to come. But there are now so many projects that it’s easy to lose track. And at the same time, it’s not always clear how working on any one project brings us closer to victory: what is my personal contribution today? How much more do all of us still need to do? At the very start of the campaign, campaign manager Leonid Volkov wrote that we need 12 million contacts and explained why. We are working from the assumption that 12 million is the minimum needed to make it to a second round of voting. More is better. We are now keeping a running total of how many contacts remain. By our calculations, together we have already reached 4 million contacts. To make this visual and easy to understand for ourselves, we created the project "Navalny Team" http://team.navalny.ru/
It will continue to be developed and improved. For now, we’re starting with the simplest features: a list of campaign activities with descriptions and the number of contacts each volunteer contributes by taking part in them. We will update the overall contact count daily, based on the campaign headquarters’ statistics for all activities during the day. Over the next week, we will add: the ability to report your participation in activities, your personal contribution to the overall result, a comparison of your results with those of other volunteers, and real-time updates of the total number of contacts.
Over the course of the campaign, we’ve all practically become like family—we don’t just campaign together, we relax together too: headquarters weekends and training sessions, "neighborhood picnics," and lots more. The headquarters is buzzing with activity and full of people at all hours of the day and night. You can find out how great it is to be a volunteer in our new website section, Volunteer Life (http://navalny.ru/shtab/). Every day, we collect the most interesting stories from our volunteers there.
