This success comes on the heels of another initiative by the Foundation in partnership with Vote Forward, called “The Big Send”, which launched on Thursday, April 30, 2020, asking members to write letters to voters, hold them and mail them out October 25th, just before Election Day.
Even in the COVID-19 environment, women are still leading the fight to Get Out The Vote! Other Women’s March Foundation Warriors have donated money for stamps to help Warriors who cannot afford such expenses.

“Even through hardship, the Foundation members continuously answer the call to action. Our Warriors have shown the world that we’re not letting this election get away from us. We have to Get Out The Vote in all communities and it all starts with a simple postcard”, observed Emiliana Guereca, President of the Foundation.

Participants who send 100 postcards will be sent a Warrior Bracelet for civic engagement.
