The best is voting by mail. I've been doing it ever since it was opened up to the general electorate, beyond the previous disabled voters-only option.
Before the 2018 elections I took part in a similar GOTV, get out the vote, drive, and we had some great results, good new folks in Congress partly as a result of our efforts.
We're back! I just received my bank of registered voters information and I'm all set to encourage them to vote by mail. Personal notes to all, copies of everything they need to sign up. It's clerical work with importance way beyond the tasks. Activism at my dining table.
It's entirely volunteer driven, we pay our expenses, printer cartridges, postage (a big one), envelopes, Post-It notes to attach because we can't write on official documents. We can't promote a candidate either, just a clean encouragement to vote.
Last time around when I couldn't afford any more postage, after my first batch, Action Together NJ' s leader, Winn, sent me some. She tries to raise funds to help pay postage.
She herself, Winn Khuong, is an immigrant and a model of how to do activism based on great research and energy. Great respect.
That's fantastic! I need to see if there is something similar here. Although in my red state, I don't know it would help my persuasions any.
ReplyDeleteThere's Postcards to Voters, which you can take part in from anywhere. They target specific seats around the country, and you send postcards to the voters they detail to you, to encourage them to vote. I think you can track it down on Google. Go for it!
