  • Postcards to Voters. Postcards to Voters  are friendly, handwritten reminders from volunteers to targeted voters giving Democrats a winning edge
  • Vote Forward. The majority of our letter-writing campaigns are nonpartisan campaigns, supporting our core 501c(3) and 501c(4) social-welfare mission, which focus on mobilizing potential voters in historically marginalized communities—such as people of color, women, and young voters. We also support 501(c)(4) partisan campaigns to encourage likely-Democratic voters to turn out in strategic states and districts.
  • Reclaim Our Vote – Focus on voters of color
  • Activate America – Activate America empowers activists to help elect Democrats to the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. The American public wants results, and Congressional Republicans want chaos and dysfunction. Democratic majorities in the House and Senate will help protect our freedoms, our country, and our planet. 
  • Postcards to Swing States

Text elected officials all at once. It’s fast and effective. Great technology. At your fingertips. https://resist.bot/
