Postcard Campaign

Thank you to everyone who helped write postcards. Together, we wrote more than 7,000 cards and mailed them to 12 states.



We mailed more than 600 cards to Congressional Districts 1 and 6, plus an additional 600 cards to voters in Pima County. Watch the results on November 3rd to see which states you helped launch into the blue wave.

States Reached

Virginia, New Jersey, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, North Carolina, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio, Texas, and Arizona.



Special Thanks

Special thanks to Alaina Giltz, Tisha Stril, and Susan Ruff, who helped set up the delicious food and treats. It took an army of volunteers to write and stamp all the postcards.

Thank you, to everyone who helped!

Thanks to everyone who donated to the

Medical Debt Relief Program.

Impact of Your Donations

Every $1 donated was expected to relieve at least $100 in medical debt. Together, the Pima County Democratic Party's cash donation of $500 and GV Dems' donation of $496 helped reduce expected medical debt by more than $9,000.

A Year of Community Action

Standing at the corner, we watched voters pass by and heard enthusiastic honks of support. It was a memorable year, with two No Kings Day events and an average of more than 100 protesters joining us twice each month.

Schedule Update

Beginning November 1st, we will no longer gather at the corner of La Cañada and Esperanza.

Looking Ahead

We will take a break until next year, but keep your signs handy—the 2028 presidential election will be here before we know it. We will once again need to stand up for our democracy.

Thanks to everyone who helped us set up each week, as well as to everyone who purchased signs and T-shirts.
