Hello Writers,

What a record breaking month for our postcarding team - 10,200 voters reached! That is highest number ever for our program this early in the cycle. Thank you everyone! Let's keep it going on our quest for 100,000 in 2024!

June is often seen as the official start to general election campaigning. We are excited to be expanding our work and adding a 2nd CA congressional district. Each month, we consult with our partner Activate America to identify battleground House and Senate races that have the largest need for writers This month, both CA-13 and CA-47 are in need of writers!

For June, we are continuing the campaign for Ohio to encourage voters to request a mail-in ballot for the November election. Postcarding has been found to be an effective tool to increase such requests. Ohio's Senate race to re-elect Democratic incumbent Sherrod Brown is rated a toss-up. We are waiting for results of the June primaries in Nevada and Montana to expand our Senate work.

On the House side, we are continuing our work for Adam Gray in CA 13. CA 47 is Katie Porter's district and we are now supporting the new Democratic candidate, Dave Min.

The mailing deadline for all campaigns is July 1st.

NEW EVENT: Local writers are invited to join us on alternate Sunday afternoons from 3-5 pm at our Action Days! Come enjoy the beautiful summer afternoons and write postcards as our members gather for a multi-action event. We will be phoning and texting voters, as well as writing postcards. Enjoy refreshments and conversation while writing to voters and learn a bit about different voter outreach options! All supplies will be provided; packets of 10 addresses and postcards are $5 each. RSVP here.

SUMMARY OF CURRENT CAMPAIGNS:

•• CA-13 - ADAM GRAY and CA 47 DAVE MIN: We are writing to registered Democrats under the age of 46 who are infrequent voters or are newly registered. Choose either candidate with a message about their candidacy and support for Social Security and lowering prescription drug costs. The mailing deadline for this campaign is 7/1.

• OHIO - SHERROD BROWN: We are writing to registered Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents who are infrequent voters to promote voting by mail. These voters may not realize they need to sign up to vote by mail for every election. Voting by mail encourages early turnout and makes voter outreach more efficient in the final weeks before election day. Postcarding has been found to be an effective tool to increase the number of people voting by mail. The mailing deadline for this campaign is 7/1.
