POSTCARD WRITING TO VOTERS ORGANIZED BY HUMBOLDT ACTIVIST FREDERICA AALTA

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. At present, we have just finished postcarding Wisconsin, so are at a lull, but new campaigns will be starting soon for several states. 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.

Sending letters to voters thanking them for voting in last election and encouraging them to vote again in upcoming elections.

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!

OTHER LETTERS/PETITIONS

The Biden administration will defend a five-well oil project in the National Petroleum Reserve-Alaska approved by the Trump administration last year. (Politico). This seems to be part of a balancing act to keep Senator Murkowski and other oil-favoring senators from opposing all of Biden’s agenda. Take a look and see if you want to write to the Secretary of the Interior. See: https://thehill.com/changing-america/sustainability/environment/555945-environmentalists-outraged-as-biden-officials also the earlier decisions: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-27/biden-issues-dozens-of-oil-drilling-permits-in-first-few-days

The Line 3 pipeline directly undermines the Biden administration’s stated priorities of respecting Indigenous rights and responding to the climate crisis.

From June 5 to 8, activists across the United States are heeding the call of Indigenous leaders and joining the Indigenous-led, non-violent action along the Line 3 construction route.

Our demands are clear: Biden must listen to the people and direct the Army Corps of Engineers to immediately reevaluate and suspend or revoke Enbridge’s Line 3 Clean Water Act Section 404 permit.

If you’re able to join the on-the-ground resistance, you can get more information here– but in the meantime, we need to generate massive public pressure with thousands of messages and calls to Biden.

Will you add your name right now calling on Biden to revoke the key water permit for Line 3 and protect Indigenous rights and the climate?
