Reclaim Our Vote (ROV)

About two weeks ago, twenty-seven (27) Westerners signed up to be Reclaim Our Vote (ROV) postcard writing volunteers. Twelve hundred (1200) voter names have been distributed to Western volunteers! Postcards are now being written, with messages to check registration and encourage early voting, and sent to voters in targeted southern states where voter suppression is occurring.

Thanks to Western volunteers for taking action to help ensure that all citizens have the opportunity to exercise the sacred right to vote! (Double thanks to Betsy Carter who recruited many high school friends she has been Zooming with during Covid.)

It’s not too late to participate in this important ‘Get Out The Vote’ (GOTV) campaign!

The last voter names will be distributed Oct 1 with final postcards mailed Oct 10. If you are interested, please email me (cward67515@gmail.com) or Betsy Carter (vanbets@starpower.net) as soon as possible, so we can introduce you to our ROV representative who will provide training and a 30 postcard starter kit.

ROV has sent out around 5 million postcards so far and about 1/2 million are being knocked out per week. If anyone is interested in phone banking or text banking, please let Betsy and I about this too because ROV is eager to recruit people for these efforts. Phonebanking and textbanking will continue through Election Day. There will be additional postcards sent for runoff elections in November.
