NEW POSTCARD WRITING GROUP FOCUSES ON CITIES

We wanted to let you know that we just helped start a new postcard program focused on making sure progressive voters who care about climate change turnout in local elections this November in some key cities with relevant climate policy at stake. It’s www.PostcardsforClimate.com.

It’s unrelated to Postcards to Swing States but has a similar setup.

Would you be willing to write some of these postcards? The sign-up form is accessible from the website.

The current campaign is for New Orleans. We have an FAQ with more details: www.PostcardsforClimate.com/faq.

 

POSTCARD WRITING TO VOTERS ORGANIZED BY HUMBOLDT ACTIVIST FREDERICA AALTO

 

Here is Frederica describes what they are doing:

I am administering a postcarding network in Humboldt County (presently over 300 writers) and we supply postcards and stamps to writers, which are available for cost at several convenient pickup locations. Have anyone interested in joining us contact me. We mostly postcard for ROV (Reclaim Our Vote), which is non-partisan, but have also postcarded for Activate America (which used to be called Flip the West), which is partisan.

She can be reached at: [email protected]

VOTING – POSTCARDS TO SWING STATES

Please SIGN UP to write postcards to make sure Democrats come out and vote. We’ll send you the postcards, addresses and instructions for free. You provide $0.36 stamps and mail the cards.  A number of campaigns are available on the website.

With the help of volunteers like you, we wrote 21 million postcards in 2020, and we saw incredible results! Voters who receive handwritten postcards are significantly more likely to vote. You can help us keep New Jersey and Virginia blue!

Visit our website to learn more about Postcards to Swing States and get answers to our frequently asked questions.

OTHER LETTERS/PETITIONS

STOP THE MONEY PIPELINE

After searching the world, Adani has failed to find a single bank to fund the Carmichael mine. In fact, over 103 companies have ruled out any involvement. And yet, the Bank of New York Mellon is on the verge of providing millions in financing to Adani Group’s massive new thermal coal project.

Tell the Bank of New York Mellon to refrain from funding Adani’s climate-wrecking Carmichael mine, and to publicly cut all ties with the project.

STAND.ORG

The continued financing and investment in oil and gas activity in the region by major European and American banks are an ongoing threat to millions of Indigenous peoples and the planet. We’re calling on these banks and the whole banking sector to put their money where their mouths are and adopt an exclusion policy and exit strategy for Amazon oil and gas.

Tell UBS and JPMorgan Chase to Exit Amazon Oil and Gas now. Add your name here.
