A.   Here is a chance to help our city officials understand and act on the climate crisis. Below it are opportunities to write postcards to voters in important elections.

Recruit city council or other city staff members for a city-specific webinar.

DRAFT EMAIL (find email addresses on city websites)

Dear Mayor, Councilmembers and City Manager:

If you’re wondering how to fight climate change, join climate experts and local policy leaders for a webinar  Friday, January 14, 2022, noon -1:30 PM (PST). Panelists will address the implications of August’s “Code Red” warning from the IPCC, available technology to ‘electrify everything’ with clean energy, and the vital role that cities and counties play in implementing near-term actions. This is a must attend event for local elected officials, municipal staff and the public interested in working toward effective responses to the climate crisis. This effort originated in the Bay Area but is relevant for all California cities. Currently there are over 500 registrants.

Please use the following link for more information and to register:

I hope you will join me and many of your peers for this important conversation. Even if you are unable to attend live, by registering you’ll have access to the recording and the resources that will be shared.

Best regards,

Your name

ENVIRONMENTAL VOTER PROJECT HAS A NEW POSTCARD CAMPAIGN

We’re thrilled to announce that the Environmental Voter Project has officially launched a new volunteer postcarding program!

We’ll be sending postcards to environmentalists in Tempe, AZ who voted in 2020 but are unlikely to vote in their March 8th city primary election.

POSTCARD CAMPAIGN TARGETS FLORIDA VOTERS

Florida: Postcards and Letter Writing to Voters

Virtual Postcard Writing · Hosted by Broward for Progress (browardforprogress.org)

https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/417759/

Join us for Postcards to Voters. We’re writing to Florida voters and need your help! Last cycle we sent almost 100,000 postcards out. Will you join us? 15 minutes a day can make a huge difference!

NEW POSTCARD CAMPAIGN FOR WISCONSIN VOTERS: Starts January 10

From Activate America (Formerly Flip the West)

We are writing to likely Democrats in Wisconsin to let them know Democrats delivered on their promises with the new Infrastructure and Jobs Act. Wisconsin is widely considered to be the most vulnerable state in the Democrats’ “blue wall” for presidential elections. Then-candidate Joe Biden narrowly won the state in 2020 after Donald Trump won in 2016. But Republican Senator Ron Johnson is increasingly out of touch with reality.

Many voters do not pay attention to their elected officials’ voting records. Join Activate America (formerly Flip the West) as we write to Wisconsin voters and let them know how Johnson is voting against their interests.

You may also chose to write a similar message to voters in key CA congressional districts in Spanish or in English.

PROGRESSIVE TURNOUT PROJECT CAMPAIGN

Write postcards to first-time voters in ten states with key Senate races in 2022. Help us make sure Democrats stay engaged and make voting a habit in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

We’ll send you postcards, addresses and instructions. You provide stamps and mail the cards to voters before the Jan. 7, 2022 deadline.

Voters who receive handwritten postcards are significantly more likely to vote. In 2020, our volunteers sent 21 million postcards to voters in 14 swing states, and we saw incredible results!

Postcards to Swing States is a project of Progressive Turnout Project. For more information, visit us at turnoutpac.org/postcards or send us an email.

 

THIS 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.
