Happy Tuesday, Activists!
We hope you had a good weekend. What a few weeks. It's been hard. But it doesn't change what we do. We still work our tails off to save democracy no matter who is the Democratic candidate. Hopefully the whole thing is decided soon. Hang in there.
TOMORROW NIGHT -- LEARN ABOUT OUR MESSAGING MATTERS PROJECT
YOU SHOULD BE PART OF IT!
You probably know that the Republicans have numerous outlets to promote their messages. You know who they are. And the Democrats have no such megaphones. So it's up to us to spread the word about what's happening and what's at stake in this election - in messaging that resonates with our audiences.
How do we do this? Come to our zoom meeting tomorrow night and find out! We will be working with Megaphone, an outlet that is part of Commonwealth Communications. Their mission is to help groups like ours systematically deliver great messaging every week. And they make it easy for you to send the messages!
They will give us a presentation of how they will help us get this done. It will be super interesting!
Join us tomorrow, July 10th from 7 - 8 PM.
CANVASSING
This coming Saturday and Sunday! We'll be canvassing again in the Oxford Circle neighborhood on Saturday and with the Biden/Harris campaign in Brewerytown on Sunday. They will have everything you need to canvass. Details below.

POSTCARDS!
1. As with our last phase, there is very little for you to write on these cards. Just the voter's name and address on the front of the card and just nine words on the back!
So please order as many as you think you'll write when you fill out the form, to avoid repeat orders.
2. To order, fill out this form and give us all the information we need to fulfill your postcard request. You will receive an email from us with all the instructions and your list of voters and addresses. Then we'll deliver your postcards.
3. Click here to order your postcard stamps. Remember that prices go up on July 14th, so buy some extras for later!
4. We ask that you donate $7.00 at this link for each set of 50 addresses. This is our regular Act Blue account for our donations. We will know it's for your postcards though!
5. If we have to mail the cards to you please add an extra $7.00 for that postage. But if the cost is too much for you please don't worry about it. We want you to write the cards!
6. And if you are able, please think about throwing in a little extra for the folks who can't. Thank you!!
7. Please mail the postcards as you complete them. However, we would like for you to have them all completed and mailed by the end of July.
Below is the postcard front and a sample of the back
Learn About Project 2025
Many of you have asked about spreading the word about Project 2025. And some may not be familiar with it. We will be doing more about this soon with messaging and graphics. For now though, you can tell your friends and family about it very simply. You can send them this excellent John Oliver video that explains it and is also a bit funny. It's on YouTube so it's fully accessible Click this link to watch it and send to you everyone you know!
