Columbia Gorge Women’s Action Network (CGWAN) sponsored a postcard writing project this fall through Progressive Turnout Project, the largest voter contact organization in the country, using research-backed tactics to rally voters. The local campaign involved writing postcards to voters to encourage them to vote in the Nov. 5 general election. More than 40 volunteers wrote 3,600 postcards from July to October to states including Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Oregon and Washington, which were mailed at the Hood River Post Office on Oct. 18.
