Hey folks! I’m writing more postcards to voters in April, and I invite you to join me in sending at least 10 postcards to likely progressive voters to encourage them to vote in special elections.
Why: First off, you will have brightened peoples’ days with handwritten postcards and bettered democracy. Plus, one person will get a signed Advance Reader Copy of YOU DON’T KNOW EVERYTHING, JILLY P!, which won’t be available in stores until September 25! And everyone who enters will get a postcard from me.
To enter:
1) Sign up with postcardstovoters.org if you haven’t already
2) Send at least 10 postcards for an upcoming election
3) If you can/want to, post about it to social media. [Edited to make this not a requirement.]
4) Email me at alex@alexgino.com with your address and social media handle if you posted about your cards.
Why postcards?: Special elections are happening all the time around the country, and results are often determined by turnout. I hate making phone calls to potential voters, and I suspect many of them hate getting them, but who doesn’t love a postcard? I find it relaxing to make cards that say things like “Local Elections Change the World”.
Access notes: Participating with postcardstovoters.org does require handwriting and the funds to buy stamps and supplies. If you are interested in participating, but handwriting doesn’t work for you or your body, I’m up for substitutions. Email me at alex@alexgino.com and we’ll set something up. If you are interested in participating, but it’s cost prohibitive, email me at alex@alexgino.com and I can see about sending you a few dollars to make it possible.
