During the call, we’ll all be handwriting letters provided by Vote Forward, a non-partisan initiative aiming to encourage turnout for 10 million voters. Vote Forward provides blank letters and addresses — all you have to do is write a brief statement on why you vote, sign the letter, and prepare the envelope!
