Have you taken a look at the price of first class stamps these days?  It’s gone from $.68 to $.73 during the summer.  That means that for every 100 letters UUCW sends out with the letter-writing effort through Vote Forward, we need $73 for postage.

Several people are writing letters in batches of 20 to low propensity voters across the country, giving them the information they need to exercise their right to vote.  Some people have written 100s of letters which means they have a huge expense to bear in addition to the time they are putting in.  We could really use your help with the cost of stamps.

The Get Out the Vote Team will receive 50% of the donations made during the offering on September 22nd which will help reimburse people for the cost of stamps and other supplies.  In addition, for the next several Sundays, we will have a jar at the foyer of the church to collect stamps that you buy–please no flags because, sadly, they are associated with voter suppression.

We will be doing postcards and/or letter-writing during coffee hour for the next few Sundays until mid-October.  Also, if you would like to take a batch of letters home to write “why you vote” to someone in FL, AZ, NC or another battleground state, contact  or stop by our table during coffee hour or go to https://votefwd.org/campaigns and print out a template for 5 letters to get started. 

There may still be batches of postcards with Reclaim Our Vote to send to women in Florida. Contact Vickie Cox Lanyon directly or via  or see Vickie during coffee hour on Sunday. Let’s get in some Good Trouble together making the world a better place for all, one voter at a time!

In solidarity and with great gratitude,
