Get Out the Vote

Nov 1, 2024 | Beacon, Climate, News

There were three post carding campaigns this year and East Shore family and friends were busy.

I-2117 to Repeal the Climate Commitment Act

The Earth and Climate Action Ministry Team (ECAM) is grateful to the Church members who volunteered to prepare 500 post cards for the NO on I 2117 campaign.

We also held a public witness event on Sunday, October 27. You can check out the video online! Thank you to the Board of Trustees for supporting this important public witness.

Environmental Voter Project

The Environmental Voter Project (EVP) uses postcard messaging to increase the number of voters in critical districts who value the environment. Ron Lovell from ECAM reports 1,000 were sent.

Reclaim Our Vote

Reclaim our Vote is a grassroot campaign that focuses on increasing BIPOC voter turnout through post-carding, texting, and phone banking. Dave Edfeldt reports that East Shore community and friends have amazingly written 15,893!

Some simple stats from Dave:

  • Number of people who contacted me for addresses: 102
  • States we wrote to: AL, GA, FL, NC, TX, VA
  • Number of unique counties: 13
  • Total number of addresses: 15,893 (not including the local campaigns that some of you wrote to.)
