Join Swing Blue Alliance’s new and innovative postcard campaign to increase youth voter registration in Pennsylvania. This groundbreaking project kicked off in Ohio last month and now focuses on PA – a perennial battleground with important governor and state legislative races, as well as 3 of the most competitive congressional districts in the country, representing major pickup opportunities for Democrats.
This campaign tackles one of the hardest challenges in electoral politics: finding people who aren’t registered to vote. We’ll be sending postcards to reliable Democratic voters with unregistered young adults in their households to encourage them to register. This relational organizing approach will be particularly fruitful in PA, where only 22% of 18-year-olds are registered (among the lowest in the country according to The Civics Center).
The postcards are easy: write 7 words and affix an address label and stamp. 1 packet of 25 postcards costs $6 (including tax). You will need to buy postcard stamps (65 cents each) separately. Mail your completed postcards anytime before September 10 from anywhere you want.
Signup for the pickup date and number of packets you want (and consider doing more than 1 packet). You will receive a calendar invitation from “Swing Blue Alliance via Mobilize” (check your spam folder) with pickup and payment info including my address in Sharon, MA.
