PIVOT’s 2024 Postcards Campaign
Personal postcards that are handwritten by volunteers like you have proven to be effective in getting people out to vote.
For the 2024 election, volunteers have sent more than 27,000+ postcards to Vietnamese American progressives in key states to vote on critical issues.
The postcard campaign has ended. Thank you for your support.
How does this work?
PIVOT provides you with a stack of pre-printed postcards and a database of voter addresses. On your own time (or at a local PIVOT postcard writing party), you will then write a handwritten note (that we provide) on the postcards, address them, add postage and then mail them.
How much do I have to volunteer?
You can volunteer as little or as much as you are willing to do. To keep the overhead low, we do ask that you write at least 50 postcards (about 2 hours).
How do I get these postcards?
If you live near one of our hub volunteers in larger cities, you can personally pick up the postcards locally. Otherwise, we can also mail them to you for free (but require at least 100 postcards commitment).
Who is paying for this?
PIVOT will cover the cost to design and print the postcards. If you can’t pick up the postcards from our hubs, we can also cover the cost of mailing them to you. However, we do ask that you cover for the cost of the postcard stamps themselves (56 cents per postcard).
How do I know this is effective?
PIVOT is working with a partner organization to source these addresses from voter registrations files and filter them by voters that independent or leaning progressive. Studies have shown that these handwritten postcards written by volunteers are extremely effective in getting these voters out to vote.
Which campaigns are we writing postcards for?
We are writing postcards to get people out to vote in the General Election this year, but it might not be the only one. We are also provide postcard campaigns for some local elections such as CA-45 and CA-47. You only need to volunteer for the campaigns you care about.
Great. How do I sign up?
The 2024 postcard campaign has concluded. Please reach out to minh@pivotnetwork.org if you have any questions.
