Looking for a low-tech way to engage with reliably Democratic voters who don’t always get to the polls? We are recruiting volunteers to gear up for a final week to take part in THE BIG SEND, a nationwide non-partisan effort to encourage voter turn out in 2020.
So far we have recruited about 45 volunteers who are preparing more than 2,000 voter participation letters that will be mailed to voters in Florida. We give you materials, stamps and instructions. You encourage people to go to the polls by adding your personal reasons for voting. All letters will be mailed on October 17, the day of THE BIG SEND.
Every day becomes more urgent and nothing spells it out more clearly than a story in the New York Times quoting a woman who was suffering from a rare cancer. As she lay in hospice she wrote 15 letters to voters in Pennsylvania urging them to vote. She was quoted as saying, “I told them I was dying, that this is the most important election ever, that I can’t imagine not voting and would they please exercise their right to vote”. She died later that day.
