Thank you so much! This article captures exactly how we feel! We love our Democratic Party! But we realized to fill in the gaps our communities had to do it ourselves! In many instances, it is up to us! I remember asking a donor to help us get billboards up during the time I called white space (no one was thinking about politics, we would own the narratives) they weren’t interested, only in ground in person door knocking. You need both! More people will see my sign than the number of people who will actually open the door, or read the literature I leave. I am simply saying it’s “it’s all the things” no such thing as “or” anymore. The world has changed!

The MSM and pollsters have no idea of the force and infrastructure of the grassroots. Stories like these are going to save us. Thank you for all you do!!

I am so with you. I did postcards to parents in the lead up to the election of Tom Suozzi. I think a cute line drawing of a fridge or bathroom mirror with the sticky note we wanted parents to leave would have been effective *with* the letter text. Calendar images with important dates could add to the visual impact of postcards with lots of text.
