Hi, all, and happy first Monday of a new year! This will be a wee fragment of a newsletter, as today is still a holiday for many. I mostly want to welcome you to another year of activism—woot!—drop a couple of small and, in one case, time-sensitive actions, and remind us all of one critically important fact:
SO on board. Just mailed 30 postcards to VA for Jade Harris. There's always an election happening somewhere, and I never run out of postcards. Happy New Year!
Thanks for the daily kick in the pants, Jessica, along with the pat on the back. Both are needed.
I am writing postcards for Jade Harris. Deadline is today, but realistically since there's no mail delivery or pick up today, they'll go into the system tomorrow.
Iris you can literally just text that code to the number 50409 and it'll walk you through the process. It's really easy! Try it! And for more info about what Resistbot is you can click on the hyperlinks above the letter or go to https://resist.bot/
...in the Primary & hopefully Janet Protasiewicz on April 4th. This is a big deal for our Supreme Court & how voting & fair maps go in our very gerrymandered state! Pass it on!! 👩🏼💻
Signing up for VA postcards (within 24 hours no less) is pretty much impossible. You are kept in an infinite loop of signing up, so will continue with Wisconsin Supreme Court race and regretfully drop the impossibility of signing up for VA postcards. Onward and upward!
I think the issue is that you have to be manually added by the volunteers and so in the instructions it says to wait a few minutes before attempting to get addresses... in my case being 3 hrs later than Virginia, there isn't anyone monitoring their system after a certain time. So as you mentioned, it's an infinite loop until a person gets around to inputting your verified email address. Anyway, maybe the next campaign.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Jessica. You Rock!!!!!!

Happy New Year, Jess, and continued, abundant thanks for your excellent leadership! Leave? Now? Hah! No way! Onward!
Your post inspired me today. I wrote postcards for Jade Harris. I appreciate you!
That's amazing! So glad you were able to access the addresses--it seems some had trouble.

Yes! That's probably the most important election of the year! We will be working on it! Woot!
Yes, we are doing postcards for this race. Happy to start the New Year for Wisconsin!
Is that with postcards to voters?
Hi,
Anyone else having problems getting signed up for VA postcards? I go thru the Capcha but nothing happens.
Signing up for VA postcards (within 24 hours no less) is pretty much impossible. You are kept in an infinite loop of signing up, so will continue with Wisconsin Supreme Court race and regretfully drop the impossibility of signing up for VA postcards. Onward and upward!
this happened to me in an earlier race. Eventually the addresses appeared but this is too tight a timeframe to count on it!
Thanks for letting me know 🤗
Sorry you had trouble, Karen.
