Help Us Get Out the Vote!

October 5 | 10am-12pm
Great Hall

Do you wonder how you can make a difference in this year's election beyond your own vote? It's as easy as sending a postcard!

This is something each of us can do, and we are making it easy for you to join the effort. St. Luke's Justice ministries are championing a postcard-writing campaign to encourage citizens to get out and vote this November. We'll provide the postcards, along with research-backed, non-partisan messages that have proven effective at motivating people to vote. You provide your handwriting and the postage (if you're able). We need your help!

For more information, please contact Shelly Clasen (shelly.clasen@stlukesumc.com) or David Llewellyn (dj57llew@gmail.com). You can also visit turnoutpac.org to learn more.

"A recent NYT opinion article by climate advocate David Wallace-Wells, (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/28/opinion/solar-power-free-energy.html) documented how the dropping price of solar panels is prompting a revolution in inexpensive, clean renewable electricity. Not only is solar-powered electricity cheap but its production from clean energy sources does not contribute to climate change. As a result of these attributes, solar energy generating facilities are rapidly expanding across the globe."
