John,

In a moment I'm going to ask you to contribute to the Mail Our Way to the
Midterms Project to help cover the cost of postage, but before I do, I
wanted to share a few stories from Flip the South postcard volunteers and
tell you more about our work so you know some of the people your donation
will help and what the goal of this project is.

The Mail Our Way to the Midterms Project will fight to Flip the South by
engaging voters that are too often forgotten and left behind by sending
200,000 voters a personal message with handwritten postcards. Even better,
after these voters receive a postcard, our text-out-the-vote team will
follow up with a get-out-the-vote text as well, increasing the chances
that these voters will turn out even more by making two contacts with
them.

Now that you know more about our work, please read these four stories
about Flip the South postcard volunteers that need your help to join us.

Carmen is a civics teacher working to get high school students more
engaged in the political process. She requested 500 cards for her class
but is unable to cover the cost of postage on her own.

Amber is retired and on a fixed income. She donates what she can to
progressive candidates and gives time and energy to volunteer
opportunities, but is unable to purchase stamps for all of the cards
she’d like to write.

Brandon is introducing his kids to civic engagement at a young age, and
he wants to be able to write postcards for progressive candidates with
his family. He can cover half the cost of postage but needs some help
with the rest.

Vi is 17 years old and is excited to be able to vote next year. They
want to get a head start in political advocacy and have signed up to
write an ambitious 500 cards. They’re focused on school and family, so
they don’t have an income that can support a purchase of this size.

postage for these DFA members and others who want to send postcards but
can’t afford it on their own?

The Mail Our Way to the Midterms project targets voters in 4 key southern
states, Texas, Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina to inspire unlikely
voters to cast their ballots.

There’s no doubt that writing persuasive postcards to voters encourages
them to support our candidates and drives them to the polls, but to
increase the likelihood of pushing our targeted voters to the polls our
program goes even further by following up with a get-out-the-vote text,
increasing the chances that these voters will turn out.

With just over 45 days until election day, we need your support now more
than ever.

[ [link removed] ]The truth is, it is quite costly to run a postcard program of this
size, so in order to go all-in, we need your help. Please rush a donation
of $22 (or more) to help DFA cover the cost of postage for people who want
to send postcards but can’t afford it on their own now!

We have a real opportunity to make substantial gains in the South this
year. We are giving our all to Stacey Abrams, Beto O'Rourke, Cheri
Beasley, Aramis Ayala, and everyone on the ticket with them, and we know
that our work will impact the outcomes of these races. It's going to take
thousands of DFA Members like you stepping up to make this happen.
