Virginia is a crucial state in November 2023. We must keep Democratic control of the state Senate, and flip the state House back. That's only going to happen if we can persuade casual voters to turn out.
With Vote Forward, you "adopt" a number of Democratic-leaning voters and write them a personalized, handwritten letter to urge them to vote this year. Sign up to write letters, which must be mailed out by October 31.
From the privacy of your own home, you can order postcards and write to Democratic-leaning voters in target states this November.
ORDER NOW, BECAUSE THE OFFER ENDS SOON. Unlike Vote Forward, where you can just print letters off your computer, you must order the postcards, receive them—and then write and send them to voters.
POSTCARDS TO SWING STATES: Click here to write postcards to Virginia, Kentucky and Louisiana. Postcards to Swing States requires you to provide your own postcards, but offers you some good deals on vendors.
BLUE WAVE POSTCARDS: Click here to write postcards to Virginia. Blue Wave Postcards will send you postcards when you put in an order. Printed, peelable address labels and postcard stamps (optional) will be included in your package. Election information will be printed on the postcards and you will only need to write a brief sentence to encourage the recipient to vote.
Phonebanking is the most direct way you can effectively mobilize Democratic turnout. Many organizations offer remote phonebanking, but Sister District does it better than most.
By focusing on state legislative races, calling voters for just a few hours can truly flip election results. Sister District volunteers call Virginia voters from all across the country, so that the campaigns in Virginia can focus their time and energy on in-person door-knocking.
Back in 2022, Sister District volunteers made 74% of all phone calls to their endorsed candidates for state legislative races.
Sister District has endorsed 20 Democratic candidates for state senate and state house to hold Gov. Youngkin accountable. Click here to join Sister District and make calls.

Ohio advocates have worked hard to qualify Issue 1 on the November ballot to protect abortion rights in the state constitution.
Republicans tried making it harder for such measures to pass, but we defeated their scam in August—and now Issue 1 only needs a simple majority to pass. We can win.
