Love it. Are you part of a group that has been active in writing post cards or doing other political work? Judy may have some ideas and will get to commenting in a few days.

Hi, Lynn! Our Durham group is still hammering out details, but the gist of what we are doing is in this article. I would be interested to know whether that basic information is enough for others to start their own projects. If you could share this with your local Democratic activists and see whether you can get something going, it would be good information. Let's keep in touch! judykincaid48@gmail.com

Hi Judy - after years of volunteering, I anted up and went pro this past cycle as an Engagement Organizer with the Harris Campaign in PA. Lots of war stories....In my opinion your plans are absolutely and totally brilliant, and much needed. I live in NJ, the swing state of 2025, and would love to talk to you more about this. Thanks on behalf of Democracy for your heavy lifting and for offering this neighbor-to-neighbor plan to all of us.

Be sure to connect into the NC 211 (by dialing 2-1-1 anywhere in the country, you get connected to the nonprofit that compiles the list of all the local organizations' resources). No need to duplicate the work. Let me know if you need a contact. I recently retired after running the Orange County, CA 211. NC211 would be a good partner to have.

Hi: I tried to share this article to our Curry County Democrats Facebook page and Meta blocked it. I'll get around these "glass bowls" with a screen shot, but I thought somebody should know this is happening. No problem sharing it on Bllue Sky!!!

FB has been a problem for a while. Thanks for coming up with a workaround!

Hi Nancy, Judy will likely get back to you later in the week. I'm excited to learn more about your podcast. Do you want to write an article for the Connector about how much work you put into it, how you've increased your audience, and what your plans are for 2025?

Yes, I would definitely consider that. Can you email me at info@newfacesofdemocracy.org to continue the conversation?
