Here's an easy and (almost) free way to spread our message and accelerate blue momentum...
I hatched this idea the day after Dobbs came down. It's a simple grassroots activism tactic that almost anyone can do. And it reaches all sorts of people, including those who don't normally follow politics and elections.
It's simple: Carry a pen and sticky notes or mailing labels with you and write messages encouraging people to save their rights by voting blue in the midterms (November 8th, although a lot of people vote much earlier). Plaster your notes far and wide in public places. My friends and I particularly like to put them up in public restroom stalls--you reach a captive audience, after all. ![]() Yes these notes are easily removed (we don't want any property damage), but they're also easily replaced. If you like the idea, please participate in the note writing and also spread the word by sharing the image on social media and other relevant places online. Thank You! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() On edit: Also, if any person or organization out there likes this idea, is technologically astute, and has a bit of PR/marketing/social media savvy, I'd love it if you would run with the concept. One idea is to get people to send in photos of their own posted messages or messages that they've spotted, then post them on a website with a general description of the location, e.g.: "restroom, O'Hare Airport, Chicago," or whatever. ![]()

5. I get a little thrill every time.
It's a "stick it to the (Republican) man" kind of moment, if you will...

8. Anybody notice how quiet they've gotten w/Roe? They're trying to bury it until after the election.
This messaging is great to keep it uppermost in voters’ minds.

10. They were so smug and sure that the issue would fade in comparison to the economy.
They were very, very wrong.
