Early voting is underway in the Virginia House of Delegates race and with a month to go before Election Day, the Sister District DC/VA/MD chapter is inviting you to take part in a Get Out the Vote postcard writing initiative!
Join our committed crew of volunteers:
Where: Malcolm X/Meridian Hill Park in Washington, DC - Joan of Arc statue
When: TOMORROW, FRIDAY, October 8th at 5:45pm
What: To write postcards encouraging voters in Virginia to vote in this year's state election -which is less than one month away - and to listen to some excellent live jazz courtesy of the Foggy Bottom Whomp-Stompers! The Foggy Bottom Whomp-Stompers are the DC area’s best – some would say only – prohibition era jazz band playing your favorite hits from the 1920s and 30s including a mix of Hot Jazz, Dixieland, early Swing, and Blues. Don't miss this chance to hear them live!
We'll provide the pens, the postcards, the text, and all of the relevant details -just bring yourself and a friend by signing up today (yes we know it's in a public park, but signing up helps us determine how many materials to bring!)
Why: There's a lot at stake in Virginia - in the past couple of years with a Blue Trifecta (Governorship, Senate, and House), Democrats have expanded Medicaid, declared Election Day a holiday, enacted gun control laws, banned the gay/trans panic defense, expanded voting rights, and more. But to keep up this good work, we need to keep the majority in the house - we've seen in Texas how easy it is to undo and backtrack against voting and reproductive rights, and we don't want to see that happen in VA! Supporting down-ballot races help increase turnout and votes for the Governorship, as well.
So, start your weekend off right by joining us in the park to get out the vote!
With Appreciation and In Solidarity,
Sister District DC/VA/MD Team
