Dear People For Supporter –
If you were feeling a little “off” yesterday celebrating the July 4th
holiday just after the far-right justices of the Supreme Court took a
wrecking ball to multiple legal precedents, including the right to an
abortion, you’re not alone.
Fortunately, there’s something we can do.
Writing personal letters to unlikely voters has a significant impact – and
is a fun volunteer activity you can accomplish from the comfort of your
own living room.
[ [link removed] ]So we urge you to sign up with Vote Forward for the Big Send project
and boost voter turnout this November. >>
(If you're one of the wonderful People For supporters who has already
signed up and been writing letters, thank you! And we urge you to sign
back in today and adopt a few more voters – or recruit some friends!)
Thanks for everything you do,
Will & the People For Digital Team

People For Supporter –
During the 2020 elections, People For joined in piloting a cutting edge
new get out the vote campaign: letter writing. Yes, that’s right – the
tried-and-true method of handwritten letters was tested to help encourage
voter participation among unlikely voters, and it paid off in a big way –
boosting nationwide voter turnout by almost 1%! ^[1,2]
People For members were instrumental in the success of this program and
were praised by our partners for their efforts: with a thousand members
sending over 70,000 letters to voters across the country. And again, for
Virginia’s 2021 election, People For members sent over 20,000 letters!
[ [link removed] ]That’s why we’re proud to again partner with The Big Send Project for
the upcoming elections, and the letter writing campaign launches TODAY.
Sign up now to adopt voters and start writing letters! >>
This is a great opportunity to provide personal outreach to unlikely and
underrepresented voters in key elections across the country. With what
appears to be ever-increasing stakes for this year’s elections, voter
turnout is going to be crucial in preventing a far-right takeover of
Congress or worse.
The Big Send Project has a goal of writing 10 MILLION letters this year,
so any time you can spare to helping convince voters to cast their ballot
is deeply appreciated. We also encourage you to recruit friends and family
members to join – it’s a great and easy way to help increase voter turnout
from your very own home!

Thanks, as always, for all that you do.
Zach, People For the American Way
