Help Matt reach every door

Mahan Lit Drop:
A Viral Volunteer Tool

This prototype explores how to turn a single lit drop into a self-spreading network of neighborhood volunteers.

What's a lit drop?

The Mahan campaign uses door hanger flyers to spread the word across neighborhoods. Volunteers walk their area and hang them on doorknobs — it's personal, visible, and effective.
