Write to Oregon Democrats
What We’re Writing
We are currently distributing and writing Get Out The Vote postcards to Oregon Democrats until October 29th!
Get your packets by joining an in-person event, or at one of our pickup locations in the greater Portland area. The packets are FREE! Writers are welcome to take and write as many packets as they wish.
If you have the budget, please purchase stamps to mail the cards you write. However, we know that many people do not have the budget for all the stamps they may need. Click here for the details of our Postage Stamp Policy.
Get Out The Vote Postcards to Oregon Democrats
These are non-partisan Get Out The Vote postcards targeting Democrats in Oregon that are not regular Mid-Term Election voters, stressing the importance of voting in November! The postcards have a QR code to the State Voters’ Pamphlet. The scripts are provided and must be written as provided!
Postcard packets include:
20 blank postcards
20 names with addresses
A detailed instruction sheet on how to write the cards
A list of 4-6 scripts you can choose from
Write a script on the back of the postcard, write a voter’s name address on the front of the card, stamp the card, and mail it!
Please mail postcards as soon as they’re done.
Oregon Ballots start getting mailed out starting 10/14, so the sooner we can get these cards in the mail the better! They can be mailed up to October 31st.
Get Out The Vote Letters
No more letters available
These non-partisan letters target registered voters who are likely to be progressive-leaning but unlikely to vote. These people may be infrequent voters, or young voters who have not voted before. Letter campaigns are organized by Vote Forward.
Postcard packets include:
20 partially printed letters which you complete with your message
20 envelopes
20 names with addresses
An instruction sheet including directions on how to create a message, and example messages that you can use.
Write your own script completing the sentence: “I vote because…”
Then address the envelope, enclose the letter, seal, stamp and store in a safe place (or return to us) until it’s time to mail the letters.
Please mail letters by October 24th.

Our Partners
Partisan Voter Registration
“We are the national leader in proudly partisan voter registration! Using a first-of-its-kind database to reach out via email, text, and postcard, we register Democrats in the most flippable states and districts nationwide.“
Non-Partisan Get Out the Vote
“We partner with volunteers to take evidence-driven, high-impact actions that strengthen our democracy by building trust in government and increasing voter participation.”
IT TAKES MONEY!
It is our goal make writing to voters easy and affordable for EVERYONE. Producing the post card and letter packets, and provide postage for writers who can write many cards, but don’t have the budget for postage, takes money. We do not receive support from any large national organization, we have to raise all of our funds ourselves. If your budget allows, please contribute to our important cause. You can donate to our Go Fund Me Stamp Fund at the button below. We gratefully accept any amount.
WE GLADLY ACCEPT THE DONATION OF ACTUAL POSTCARD and FIRST CLASS STAMPS!
Simply bring them to one of our events. Most importantly, please ask friends, neighbors, and relatives who are not able to write, to financially support us!

Use a blue pen when possible. Using black pens makes the letter look more like they were printed by a machine, rather than a person. Other colors can be used.
-
It is okay to cross out mistakes or use whiteout. This reinforces the impression that the letters or postcards are hand-written by humans.

Please destroy the list to protect voters’ sensitive information. Shredding is best, or you can tear it up into small pieces.

From Field Team 6:
We register Democrats because those are the voters who will literally save our democracy.
Because we do partisan voter registration, we can also talk about what Democrats stand for, and we can mention specific candidates, helping with name recognition. This means our activism is doubly effective – we canvass while we register.

Vote Forward Letters are to be mailed between October 1 to 24th, 2026.
-
Yes, It is important that these messages are nonpartisan. Research done by Vote Forward over past elections prove that nonpartisan messages have better results.
