Follow this step-by-step guide to be on your way to restoring Democracy.
Create Your Account to get addresses. You need to use the same email you used when registering for a weekly Winning The House Zoom call.
If you write postcards for Markers for Democracy or Postcards4VA, the set-up of this page should look familiar. Both of these programs use Person-to-Person. Great News! Your Log In username and password should work here. Log In and you can start downloading addresses immediately.
If you cannot log on immediately, the data migration may have pre-dated your account. Please set up an account using the same email address you use to register for WinningTheHouse Zooms.
An email will be sent with a link you can use to complete the verification process. If you have lost the email or the link has expired, you can resend the confirmation email from your Profile page.
Go to My Addresses! (see menu bar above) and select tonight’s campaign. You will be presented with the program's instructions and required script, as well as the voters' names and addresses.
If you want to print or save your addresses, the easiest way is to click the "Save As PDF" button on the address bundle page. To print, open the downloaded PDF and print it from your computer.
Hand write the required text legibly and in print on each postcard. Not everyone can read cursive writing, so please write in print.
Have fun with different colored markers or highlighters to make your postcards stand out.
Sign your first name or initials, followed by "Volunteer". Do not include your return address, email address, last name, or social media handle or account name.
Do not write anything other than the address in the address area. It confuses the postal scanners.
PROOFREAD your postcard. Pay particular attention to the candidate name, recipient name & address, and election details.
SHARING ON SOCIAL MEDIA - We encourage you to share photos of your postcards on social media. Please COVER recipient names & addresses before taking any photos of your completed postcards. Use the hashtags #Winningthehouse #VoteDay1
Think of your postcard as a smile you are sending another person. Our postcards show there are real people out there volunteering their time and money to fight for Democracy. Make your cards colorful, positive, and purposeful! As Virginia State Senator Danica Roem puts it “Postcards give you a reason to believe.”
