We know this is an ask. Anyone in Dallas who completes the survey can be entered into the raffle for a $50 gift card, and South Dallas residents (75210, 75215) can opt into a follow-up interview. If selected, they’ll be paid $30 for their time.

We’re working with South Dallas neighbor Shanay Wise of The Wise Advocacy Project (pictured above at right, with her assistant Anita Crethers) to reach as many neighbors as possible. Here are some ways we can make sure you and your neighbors are counted in the survey:
• We can attend a community event to either survey people verbally, or hand out and collect paper surveys.*
• We can make calls to survey people over the phone.
• We can block walk to survey people at home.*
(*Mask-wearing and other COVID-19 safety protocols will be in place at all times.)
For in-person surveying, we have a limited number of $5 gift cards to thank people who complete the survey and sign up for our South Dallas text message service.
Reach out to Dallas Free Press executive director Keri Mitchell at 469.290.4553 or keri@dallasfreepress.com if we can serve you and your neighbors directly, and please share the survey with friends, neighbors and colleagues digitally. You also can simply share our Facebook, Twitter or Instagram posts about the survey.
