Use your pens to help defend democracy in the 2024 elections. The stakes are frighteningly high and YOU can make a difference
Join the UUCM Bending the Arc Taskforce in sending out postcards targeted to Black voters in voter suppression states.
The best way to help is to join our postcard club. Members send a minimum of 20 postcards per month during a designated election cycle.
Not ready to join the club yet? Stop by a Postcard Writing Party to see what it’s like, meet other writers, get tips, and have fun while helping to meet our goal of sending over 18,000 cards to historically underrepresented voters!
We’re entering Part 2 of our 2024 Postcard Writing Campaign:
- Part 2 (July – October) gets voters out for the General Election.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- Why should I join the club instead of just picking up individual packets?
- This lets us order and assemble adequate numbers of cards, addresses, stamps etc. needed to have packets ready to go when you need them.
- Who is organizing the postcard campaign?
- Reclaim Our Vote is a project of the Center for Common Ground, a non-partisan organization led by people of color. Their mission is to educate and empower under-represented voters in voter suppression states to engage in elections and advocate for their right to vote.
- How do I get packets?
- Club member packets are prepared in advance with your name on the packet & placed on a clearly marked table in the foyer of the Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains (UUCM 246 S Church St, GV.) Packets can be picked up Sunday mornings or during regular office hours (M-W-F 8:30am-5:00pm & T-Th 8:30am-12:00pm).
How to reimburse for the cost of packets
- Actual cost to assemble the packets is $10+.
- Club members commit to 5 packets, 1 for each month March – July.
- $10 x 5 months = $50. 2 packets a month, 10 packets March – July is $10 x 10 =$100.
- Since we have already purchased the supplies, we prefer that you reimburse us for all 5 packets up front when possible.
- Three ways to pay
- Place cash with a note of amount and your name in the big jar on the postcard table
- Place a check made out to UUCM in the big jar on the postcard table (please specify “postcard club” in the memo line)
- Contribute online (scroll to the link for Postcard Club)
