Let's Write Postcards to Voters

Postcard

Hi ~~first_name~~

For the November election, Reclaim Our Vote is organizing non-partisan postcards to Black voters and other voters of color in Georgia, Florida, and Virginia.
 
For the sake of simplicity, we ask you to choose only one state to write to. Sign up now through August 30 to write nonpartisan messages to these states with a history of voter suppression.
CLAIM YOUR POSTCARDS HERE 

Background
This fall, Reclaim Our Vote will focus on Georgia, Florida, and Virginia:
  • GEORGIA: In Georgia, Reclaim our Vote is part of Team Unity Georgia, a coalition of groups working to fight voter suppression in Georgia. The aim is to reach at least 600,000 Black voters with postcards, encouraging them to vote early and to use ActiVote to educate voters about who will be on the ballot. Addresses for Georgia are ready now and postcards must be mailed between October 1 and October 15.
  • FLORIDA: In Florida, Reclaim our Vote is writing to 900,000+ Black women who are registered voters. In addition to voting for federal, state and local offices, Floridians will be voting on six ballot initiatives, including a state constitutional amendment protecting reproductive rights. Addresses for Florida are ready now and postcards must be mailed between October 1 and October 15.
  • VIRGINIA: Virginia addresses are expected to be released August 2. Postcards for Virginia must be mailed between September 6 and October 15.
As in past campaigns, there is a limited supply of stamps available for writers who would be unable to participate otherwise. If you can, please purchase your stamps.

Thanks for all YOU do!

More About Postcards

Thank you
  • Order your postcards in a multiple of 10.
  • Reclaim Our Vote provides names, addresses, and details about writing postcards. You will be given an exact script to use as the postcard message.
  • Stamps: In the past League members have been very generous and purchased stamps with their own money. We hope you will continue that generosity! The supply of free stamps from our local organizer is very limited. When buying stamps, select neutral designs. Flags are unfortunately associated with voter suppression and intimidation for many.
  • Reclaim Our Vote is a volunteer-driven, non-partisan voter outreach campaign, and its parent organization is the Center for Common Ground. The Center for Common Ground educates under-represented voters in voter suppression states about the importance of elections and the right to vote. The Center does not engage in partisan political activity or endorse candidates or parties but does take stands on issues and encourage voter participation.
