Lucian, I and a lot of people I know are working hard to get out the vote. Regardless of what else is going on, we are continuing to do the work.

Those are just a few of the organizations working for Democrats. Everyone can help. You can text, write, or call people. I write postcards and letters because I'm an introvert but everyone has a role to play. I also contact my representatives. Please help!
Those are the ones that do the hard work. That is where my pension goes. Voters of Tomorrow is doing great work too, getting young folks up and running for their first election.
I regularly write a Letter to the Editor in the Cape Coral Breeze local paper. She has published every one I have ever written and I will do more. Just hope I don't get shot by a neighbor. Maybe consider doing that.
Interesting....... we drive from Florida to upstate NY every summer. The traffic has gotten worse this year but we only saw 2 Trump signs and 1 Confederate flag in 3 days - no djt bumper stickers. Wonder who they are polling.
Thank you for citing these groups. Do we have any idea how many of us there are? Just curious. It feels like a lot but? I am writing letters to voters via Vote Forward and considering texting and phone banking.
Robin, I started to research this but quickly gave up because I found some out of date information and figured it could take a while to run this all down. I know these organizations are responsible for many millions of letters, postcards, and texts. If it's really important to you to know, please DM me and I'll spend some time looking. I have written letters with Vote Forward for a while now. I am also doing postcards this year. It's tedious but it's too important not to do it.
It depends on a lot of variables, Lynn, but here's one write-up from Postcards to Swing States:
"Our award-winning research proves that postcards increase Democratic turnout by 1.3%. In 2020, our postcard program added thousands of votes in states critical to President BidenтАЩs victory. In the 2022 midterms, our postcards added 22,500 votes in key races across the nation. This impact is roughly equivalent to 45,000 hours of door-to-door canvassing!"
As far as I know, a good rate of return is between one and two percent, which is about what you can expect from a good marketing campaign or a good survey.

I am signed up for their emails too. It looks like they're doing great work.
They are. They are on a monthly$

That is fantastic!! Good for you.
I have the same feeling. I see almost no Trump signs or flags. Four years ago that was definitely not the case. I wonder if that's really indicative.

I have written a lot of postcards. How do we know how effective that is?
