GOTV Postcarding: Off to a Roaring Start!
UCE hit a Get Out the Vote home run last Sunday, picking up nearly 1,200 postcards targeted for Georgia! Our campaign to protect democracy and champion our UU values has exploded with energy, and commitment!
Join our postcarding team, reach out to registered voters who often face restrictions, and ensure voter knowledge and access. Pick up a bundle of postcards at the back of the sanctuary March 17 and March 24. Greg Grabowski, UCE Postcard Lead, at [gregwgrabowski at gmail dot com] or 847-772-0766 will keep the table filled!
Want more action? Come register voters in Milwaukee! Training, support, and carpooling is included. Folks in line at their DMV are receptive to completing the quick and easy form. Our efforts reduce barriers and boost voter participation. Reach out to Shirley Adams, UCE Wisconsin Voter Registration Lead, at [shirley at comeoutdancing dot com] for more information.
Postcarding is back! We are continuing our partnership with Reclaim Our Vote (program of Center for Common Ground) to send thousands of postcards to disenfranchised voters in southern states. We’ll encourage them to get to the polls and provide essential information to enable them to vote their values in this year’s primary and general elections.
“Postcarding” is easy and convenient to do from home, and fun done together with your friends and at occasional gatherings at UCE. The UCE UUtheVote team provides the postcards, addresses, recommended script & contact information labels for you to apply. You’ll complete the postcards as instructed, add stamps & drop them in the mail at the recommended time.
Wisconsin Voter Registration is Surging! Wisconsin is key in 2024, many potential voters are NOT registered, and UCE will be a positive force here.
The Milwaukee Voter Project (MVP) , a non-partisan, grass roots organization, engages folks in Milwaukee DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) offices to ensure that all citizens, especially those in underserved communities in Milwaukee, are registered to vote and are aware of upcoming elections.
Required training is via Zoom and lasts about one hour. You’ll get all the support you need, and carpooling is available.
Upcoming training sessions.
- Wednesday. March 20 at 7:00 PM – NEW DAY
- Monday, March 25 at 1:30 PM – NEW DATE
