A Note From our Friends at UUCHV About Get Out the Vote Post Cards

Hello Fellow Unitarian Universalists:

[Thank you to] your congregational members and friends, who helped us send out 4,000 GOTV postcards to young, independent voters in CD-17 communities in Northern Westchester. These are registered voters between the ages of 18 and 45 who have a 'low turnout' history of voting, and we hope that our postcard message encourages them to vote in this election.

Our UUCHV team mailed over 2,000 postcards....

Together, we met our goal of 4,000 postcards, and couldn't have done this without the help of all of our four Westchester UU congregations: UUFNW in Mt. Kisco, FUSW in Hartsdale, 4th UU of Westchester in Mohegan Lake, CUUC in White Plains.

Thank you for your congregational support in this important endeavor to get out the vote and help save our democracy. We have hope that we can help defend our democracy by encouraging everyone to make their voice heard with their vote. 

In Fellowship, 

Ginny Stillman and Daria Gregg

UUCVH Co-Chairs of UUtheVote
