I just wrote 10 ‪postcards for her! I'm really pulling for her in this special election! Write with us & help Debra! @tovoters.bsky.social

Four postcards with Debra Shigley's name on them. She fights for public schools; safer communities; and real progress for all. Top two postcards show a white flower on a green and pink background with "Be a Voter" in big letters at the top.

I hear you loud and clear. But, the true blue Democrat needs to ask us for our help. We do not do anything without direct and complete coordination with the candidate and/or campaign partner. They can sign up with a quick web form at our site: PostcardsToVoters.org/Campaigns

Get someone to sign.

1. He's not the Democratic nominee yet. We cannot work with anyone who isn't yet the nominee because they can't give us voter addresses or message items.

2. We need to be asked to help. We do not just write on our own.

3. It's too soon for a Nov. 2026 election to mail reminders now.

Directly from the candidates/campaigns with whom we coordinate. We write their approved message items and we only write to the Democratic voters they've already identified for their own GOTV plan so that we complement their winning efforts. In this way, we maximize the volunteers' time + postage.

Seeing all the yarn that newest #PostcardsToVoters Follower @piprgrl.bsky.social has featured in their profile banner photo reminds me of a few other volunteer writers with the same skilled hobby.

So grateful to your support of #PostcardsToVoters! Did you know that the sales of our volunteer-designed postcards are the top source of revenue that keeps our operation running smoothly? Without it, we'd run out of funds in 2-3 months.

Thanks for shopping at ToVoters.Etsy.com

My DMs are open. They've been open. Thanks for helping to amplify our message.

Exactly. The work of turning a voting-age adult into a habitual voter takes lots of follow-up over months. ACORN was the best at this with 20%+ conversion rates. But, no one has the funds + people to replicate their vast network. This is why #PostcardsToVoters focuses on Dems already registered.

Would love for someone at the DNC to reach out to #PostcardsToVoters to help us "organize everywhere, win anywhere." I've tried for 8 years to get anyone there to notice our grassroots efforts. But, unless you have a ton of money to donate, there's no one to hear us.

Voters who didn't think it was important enough to register to vote for Obama, or Clinton, or Biden, or Harris are not going to be swayed in sufficient numbers with a postcard to become habitual voters. What we need is to strengthen the habit of voting among Democrats already registered.

The organizers won't let us run the list against the USPS National Change of Address database first to eliminate voters who filled out Address Forwarding forms. Writing to voters who moved but didn't cancel their voter registration is an unconscionable waste of volunteer effort and donated postage.

With more than one Democrat running, #PostcardsToVoters was unable to engage. We were asked by one candidate. But, we had to stay out of it since we do not write to the detriment of another Democrat running for the same seat. We have not been asked to write in the general election for PSC.
