It’s been a while since we’ve reached out, and we know many of you have been waiting to hear from us. After finishing The Big Send in 2024, Vote Forward’s team has been taking some time to reflect on our work and plan thoughtfully for the future. You haven’t seen as many emails from us, but we’re still just as committed to our mission. We are all too aware that our critical work to engage voters and protect democracy is more important than ever.
During this time, Vote Forward’s team has been hard at work behind the scenes:
- Beginning our analysis of 2024 voter turnout data, so we can report thoroughly on our letters’ impact within the next few months
- Planning improvements to Vote Forward’s website, including fixes for some long-standing issues
- Engaging in longer-term strategic planning about where our work will go in 2025 and beyond
We’ve also taken time to carefully consider our next actions for volunteers, and we’re excited to share that Vote Forward’s first 2025 letter campaigns will be available later this month! We’ll be writing Social and Political letters to turn out voters in Wisconsin’s upcoming Supreme Court election, with a final mail date of March 25th. Now is the time to dust off your pens and stamps, call your favorite letter-writing friends, and stay tuned for the official launch announcement.
Wisconsin is just the beginning of our work in 2025, 2026, and beyond. And as we mentioned, we’re thinking big about the potential directions Vote Forward could take in the years to come, and we’ll keep you updated as our strategy takes shape.
We know that our work needs to continue to innovate and evolve to meet this moment — that's why we're taking time now to focus on learning, analysis, and planning for the future, so you can be confident that any actions we ask you to take will be strategic and effective.This is something we’d rather do right than do fast, to create maximum impact. We’re grateful for your patience as we work through this process.
After last year’s major effort, we hope you’ve found the time you need to rest, reflect, and regain your energy before re-committing to this important work. It will take all of us working together, and we couldn’t do it without you.
