Write to voters
Write with us at the DVC HQ, or at home
Want to help with postcards? Just come by during our open hours. We provide postcards, address lists, scripts, pens, and help from our postcard team. All you need to supply are stamps.
We’d love to have you stay and write with us at the office. Grab a seat, meet other volunteers, and write as many or as few postcards as you have time for. Our postcard leader is available to answer questions and help you get started.
Prefer to write from home? You’re welcome to take postcards, addresses, and scripts with you. You can also join our weekly Saturday Zoom postcarding sessions from 10am to noon. Email Sue for details.
Drop in anytime during open hours. No experience needed. We’ll have everything ready for you.
Thank you to our postcard suppliers
The DVC would like to thank Armen Varteressian, who printed and donated tens of thousands of postcards over the years. His contribution to our democracy is incredible.
We also want to thank Joan Escover of JP Graphics for her very generous donations of over ten thousands of postcards so far this year; Mariya Genzel who manages her own writing operation and provides overflow postcards for us.

Why write to voters?
Writing postcards provides a personal touch to voter outreach, and it’s a fun group activity. In our past campaigns, we have written postcards to register voters who are likely to vote Dem, including young voters and voters of color. We write to encourage people to enroll in vote-by-mail programs, a proven method to increase turnout. We ask people to check their registration status in states where there have been purges of people from the rolls. Importantly, we also write to get out the vote for vulnerable Democrats who are in office by informing voters of their achievements—or about their opponents’ unpopular positions on the issues.
