Get Out the Vote Postcard Writing Event - October 11

This fall, we're launching a special Get Out the Vote campaign featuring handwritten postcards that encourage voters to make a plan to vote and connect them with trusted election resources. Since our first event was such a success, we are committing to writing and sending 2,000 more postcards before election day!

Join us on October 11, from 2:00 to 4:00 at Tupps Brewery, located at 402 E. Louisiana Street, Building 2, McKinney. Register for the event.

Note: please bring postcard stamps (20 stamps = $13) or plan to donate so we can purchase the necessary postage.

We hope to see you at Tupps on October 11th.
