Action 1: Tuesday Night Postcard Party
Come enjoy the camaraderie of writing postcards to voters in swing states with fellow Indivisible Chicago activists.
We're back at the Gideon Welles pub in Lincoln Square every Tuesday evening from 6:30 to 8:00pm, writing postcards to get our voters to the polls in November.
If you can sign up in advance, it helps us let our GW hosts know how many people to expect, but last-minute walk-ins are always welcome.
Feel free to bring your own postcards if you've already ordered them from Postcards to Swing States, or just show up and we'll provide you with postcards, scripts, address lists, and pens.
Donations are welcome, either monetary or in the form of postcard stamps. We look forward to seeing you there!
Other ways to obtain postcards
If you’d like to write postcards on your own or host your own gatherings, go to www.turnoutpac.org/postcards, click on “Sign up for postcards,” complete your order and you’ll be mailed your free postcards along with messages to write and voter lists. (Note: If you enter “Indivisible Chicago” to the optional question on the form, “Are you ordering for a grassroots group?”, we can also let you know when postcard parties are scheduled nearby. Postcards will be provided at the parties or you can bring the postcards you’ve ordered.)
Indivisible Evanston is also distributing postcards for the Postcards to Swing State Campaigns. There are two pickup locations in Evanston, one in Deerfield and one in Buffalo Grove. Sign up here.
Postcard writers are responsible for providing the postcard stamps (currently 53 cents), handwriting a short message and addressing the cards. The instructions include a specific mailing date in October, so you have until then to write the postcards.
Action 2: Project 2025: Inform Your Friends!
Do your friends know about Project 2025 and the very real danger it poses to our nation? If Trump and Republicans take the White House and Congress, they will impose a militarized, anti-science, christo-fascist regime with power centered on the presidency.
Yes, this sounds like far-fetched conspiracy theory talk. Unfortunately, it's real.
Face to face, via text or email, or on your social media, inform your friends and associates about Project 2025, the comprehensive plan created by the right-wing Heritage Foundation and supported by the GOP. At least once this week, share a video, article, or website. Then do it again next week!
Sample wording for social media: Are you aware of Project 2025? It’s the detailed fascist plan that Republicans have developed to implement if Trump wins the White House. Watch this video: [or Read this article or Check out this website].
