We have to fight Nazis and fascism by mobilizing millions of people to take action
One of the tools in our toolbox is Letters and Postcards to Voters. Letter writing and postcards to voters may not be the only tools to defend our democracy from the rising tide of fascism, but they are powerful weapons in the fight. Every letter sent is a spark of hope, a reminder that we are not alone in this battle. These efforts do more than just encourage voter turnout—they build connections, inspire action, and create a movement rooted in people power. By reaching out to voters, we strengthen our communities and send a clear message: we will not sit back while our rights, freedoms, and democracy are under attack.
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 letters) to targeted voters in the hope of increasing turnout in close, key elections across the country. We do this in our homes, with friends, and in our communities. We also meet virtually once a month to discuss new campaigns and instructions and chat about politics.

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!

“the study quantifiably found the letters boosted targeted voters’ turnout by 0.8 percentage points.”
