In the words of Michelle Obama "Do Something!"On October 6 3:00pm -6:00pm we are throwing a very special tea party to write postcards to swing state voters to drive Democratic Party turn-out in the 2024 Election. The Stakes are so high we need to take action.
Bring postcards, pens, markers and postcard stamps.
You'll be entertained by DJ Mamma Casserole and DJ Marvelette
Wear a fancy tea dress, smoking jacket and a fascinator or top hat.
Bring some scones, finger sandwiches and a teacup for booze (Conor Byrne will be having some fancy ass drink specials!)
If you can't afford to order postcards and/or stamps we will be doing a special fundraiser to pair up postcard writers with sponsors and there will be lots of postcards (400 at least) to fill out.

Research shows that postcards are an effective way to increase voter turnout and engagement when messages are personal, emphasize civic duty, and highlight the importance of making one’s voice heard. Providing helpful messages about voting logistics, registration deadlines, and vote by mail details are also very effective. In fact, in Virginia, one study found that postcards increased turnout by 0.4 percent (a typical get-out-the-vote, or GOTV, canvass increases turnout by 0.3 percent) and concluded that the postcards had as good or better effect on voter turnout as going door to door.
While these increases may seem small, they are significant! Especially in tight races or elections with low voter turnout such as primaries or off-year elections, where the outcome can be decided by just a handful of votes.
Mail voting is a convenient, safe, and secure method of voting that is crucial for ensuring high turnout, especially among older Americans: it saves time, transportation, and Covid and other exposures, as well as allowing more time to consider the issues and candidates.
