NEW POSTCARD CAMPAIGN FOR WISCONSIN VOTERS

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.

OTHER LETTERS/PETITIONS/CALLS

CIVIC SHOUT

The Federal Register is holding an official comment period right now on President Biden’s proposed rule to take climate impact into account when making federal procurement decisions.

If finalized, this rule would apply to the Department of Defense, the General Services Administration, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which together spend trillions of dollars every year. This is the kind of money that can move markets, so making this rule as strong as possible is crucial to hitting our emission reductions goals.

Use this easy form to submit your comments directly to the Federal Register right now. It’s just like signing a petition and only takes a minute to do.

350 BAY AREA ACTION

And now, we have an important chance to be heard over the thundering voice of Big Oil! Demand the 3,200-foot setback rule applies to existing wells, not just new wells as Cal Gem (CA’s oil and gas agency) previously determined. There is a short period for public comments and we need as many comments as possible… Send this important letter with just ONE click here!

AND

Use this handy toolkit to put pressure on 6 conservative House Democrats to follow through on their promise to pass BBB. One click to tweet!

SIERRA CLUB

After Friday’s big victory of the House passing the Build Back Better Act, there’s another chance to protect the environment: the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has been under attack for the last several years by the Trump Administration and even by polluters’ allies in Congress, who tried to weaken it in the recent bipartisan infrastructure bill. The Biden White House is fighting back to restore this bedrock environmental law that gives you a say before major construction of mines, roadways, or pipelines can take place. They’re taking comment on the proposal until Monday, Nov 22, so the next 24 hours are key– send in yours now!
