Hello Writers,

August was yet another record breaking month for IndiMarin as we wrote over 25,000 postcards and are now very close to reaching our goal of 100,000 cards in 2024. Thank you all for all your hard work!

We are excited to announce that Get Out The Vote campaigns have arrived! The final GOTV months are the busiest and most important time of year to postcard and we thank you all for working with us to get back our trifecta.

GOTV post carding differs from other campaigns so please read the following information carefully!

Early voting starts in just a few weeks and that means we need to be working on our GOTV postcards now so that every low-frequency voter that received general election cards this year get that important GOTV postcard when ballots become available. This is a huge task but this combination of cards has been shown to be the most effective way to raise voting rates in low-frequency voters.

GOTV scripts will provide election dates and resources plus encourage early voting, which is critical to Democratic Party success up and down the ballot. All campaigns will include a social pressure message proven to be the most effective in getting low-frequency voters to turn in their ballots. These are voters that can make the difference in close elections!

VERY IMPORTANT: Please note that all GOTV cards are not mailed immediately but instead should be held and mailed to arrive near to when ballots are available. This time period will be in late September to late October. Please note the exact mailing period on each campaign. It will vary by state.

Postcarding campaigns will turn over quickly as we partner with Activate America to reach this extremely large population of voters in a short period of time. We encourage all writers to check our website and order form regularly for the latest campaigns and continue to write until the final mailing deadline, approximately October 20th.
