Citizens’ Climate Lobby “Third Coast” and its constituents across Texas hope to write 40,000 postcards to get out the vote. We have 40,000 names and addresses of registered voters who care about climate change, but who don’t often vote. And we need your help.

There will be two online trainings to share why postcards matter, and how you can help specifically. Follow the link(s) to register on Eventbrite. Each session should last approximately 45 minutes:

• Wednesday, June 26 at 7:00 p.m.
• Sunday, June 30 at 3:00 p.m.

You can also simply sign-up to write postcards on our Google form. Financial donations to help offset the cost of postcard stamps would also be greatly appreciated. Donations are tax deductible. In-kind stamp donations are also welcome.

Postcards Are Effective

Writing postcards and mailing them to our fellow registered voters accomplishes several key goals of Citizens’ Climate Lobby.

• Influence Climate Legislation: Our work to pass key climate legislation is easier when more elected officials are climate advocates.

• Impact of Get Out the Vote Programs: Many elections hinge on voter turnout. GOTV programs are critical to winning elections.

• Focus on Unlikely Voters: We target registered voters who care about climate action but are classified as unlikely voters, unlike typical campaign efforts that focus on likely voters.

• Targeted Voter List: We have a list of Texans in competitive state or federal districts where Get Out the Vote can make a significant impact due to gerrymandering.

• Importance of Local and State Elections: These elections matter. GOTV can make a difference in local and state elections. Postcards are a commonsense way to share your concerns and those of Citizens’ Climate Lobby.

• Effective and Low-Cost: Research shows that hand-written postcards with the right message are one of the most effective and affordable ways to influence voters. We provide brief training and clear instructions.
