Believe it or not, there are still consequential elections happening in our great Nation, even in the relative quiet of the post-Presidential election season. NK Indivisible is as usual leaping into the breach.
Reclaim our Vote Campaign: Loudoun County, VA
For example, this year, Virginians will choose candidates for Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, and House of Delegates. Postcards4VA is teaming up with Reclaim our Vote (ROV) to write postcards to over 460,000 Virginian voters of color who have been “deactivated” from the Virginia Voter rolls and need to re-register in time for the June 8 primary.
ROV is a non-partisan voter outreach campaign that fights voter suppression and turns out the vote among underrepresented people of color. You can learn more about them in this youtube video.
Flip the West Campaign: TEXAS 6th Congressional District Special Election
Similarly, our friends at Flip The West are mobilizing voters for a Special Election that will be held in Texas’ 6 th Congressional District on May 1 to fill the seat of Republican Rep. Ron Wright, who died in February of COVID-19. This will be a “jungle primary” with over a dozen candidates from all parties on the ballot. If no candidate receives over 50% of the vote, there will be a runoff between the top 2 candidates. You can read more about this postcarding campaign in this backgrounder.
NK Indivisible is supporting both of these campaigns by creating bundles of postcards, stamps & addresses for members to use to easily get involved in sending postcards. Please get in touch if you’d like to be involved!
