🗽Postcard and Letter Writing to Voters
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen. - Michael Jordan
People Power United folks rock! To date, they have written over half a million letters and postcards! We are making change happen! FYI, our letter and postcard writing is happening year-round.
Here are some ways to plug into this fantastic and powerful way to engage community members on issues and voting.
Postcards to Voters
Postcards and Letter Writing To Voters is a group of volunteers who write postcards (and/or letters) to target voters to increase turnout in close, critical elections across the country. We do this in our homes, with our families and friends, and within our communities. We also meet virtually once a month to discuss new campaigns and instructions and chat about politics.
You can choose between the Partisan or Non-Partisan postcard campaigns:

You can write letters to voters by visiting our Swing Left partner, Vote Forward: http://votefwd.org/swingleft. Supplies needed: blank paper, envelopes, Forever stamps, and a printer. Steps needed: sign up and get approved, choose the state you are helping, choose the number of letters—5 or 20—download and print letters, address letters and envelopes, and mail.

Tips for writing postcards or letters:
Please write legibly and avoid using cursive script.
Do not sign your last name.
Friendly reminder: even though your labels may have a name, do not use the names on the labels. Use instead “Our Friends at,” “Our Neighbors at,” “Essential Voters,” “VIP Voters,” etc. That way , if there is a move by the family, your postcards or letters will still be delivered.
Feel free to make your postcards colorful!
When you purchase stamps for postcards, make sure to get the postcard stamps, which are cheaper than the standard ones. For letters, we recommend the forever stamps.
Please include the Spanish and Creole lines, as this outreach includes Hispanic and Creole-speaking voters (if your instructions include it).
Shred addresses. Do not reuse or share.
Could you send us photos? We love seeing your impact on our community. Please email your pictures to your organizer. Thanks so much for your activism!
Does postcards and letter writing work?
“the study quantifiably found the letters boosted targeted voters’ turnout by 0.8 percentage points.”

I'm about to write my postcards, for Florida. Do I have to include the phrase, "For your health..."?? It sounds as if it's a threat! Thanks!
Thank you for being a great leader!
