We’re postcarding again, encouraging voters in Alabama! I have about 300 postcards on hand, and more on the way. I’ve requested 500 addresses, just to get us started! Let’s make a difference!
Packets of 20 cards, labels, addresses, scripts and instruction sheets will be available beginning tomorrow — Sunday, March 5, 2020 — at Pacific Unitarian.
The Center for Common Ground describes the current campaign:
New! Postcarding for the Alabama Primary
It’s here! We have 360,000 addresses of Black voters in Alabama. These postcards are to be held and mailed between May 1 and May 12.
Alabama has been racially gerrymandered to disenfranchise voters of color. In a state with almost 1/3 Black voters, the new redistricting maps almost guarantee that only one out of seven Congressional districts can elect a Black representative. Absentee voting is severely restricted, with “approved excuse” only. The state government continues to refuse Medicaid expansion, which especially harms impoverished voters and has contributed to the closures of two rural hospitals. Our partners in Alabama identify these concerns and attacks on education as the most crucial issues to Black voters.
