On November 17, 2022 (Thursday) from 1 pm to 3 pm, the Peace & Social Concerns Committee invites interested friends to gather to write Get Out The Vote (GOTV) postcards focused on the runoff election in GA. This effort is part of our Quaker Call To Action project.
We will be supporting the efforts of the nonpartisan Center for Common Ground (CCG) https://www.centerforcommonground.org/. Here is a little more info about CCG:
“The Center for Common Ground of Virginia is a 501(c)3 organization. Since late 2017, our nonpartisan Reclaim Our Vote Campaign has reached millions of voters of color in Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia. For the 2020 election including the primaries, the General Election, and the January 5 runoff, Reclaim Our Vote reached out to 14 million voters. We distributed 9.4 million postcard addresses, sent 2.9 million text messages, and made 1.7 million phone calls.”
For this effort CCG is partnering with the GA NAACP, and we will be signing postcards accordingly.
Mailing deadline is 11/23/2022.
For planning purposes, please email social-concerns@annapolisfriends.org or contact Cairn K. to let us know if you will be coming to this event. We will supply the needed materials, but if you have a favorite ballpoint pen, please bring it along. These postcards are writing intensive!
Looking forward to gathering with Friends on Thursday!
