Activist Headquarters

Here is some grassroots activism almost everyone can do to increase midterm turnout:
My friends and I are carrying around pens and sticky notes and/or big mailing labels (things with adhesives that don't cause property damage when removed) and writing messages such as:
- "Defend Choice - Defeat Republicans on 11/8"
- On 11-8 Vote Blue or else the GOP will take your right to birth control too.
- In red states, people are including abortion access website links.
We're placing these notes in public restrooms, highway rest stops, transit stations, shopping malls--any high visibility place.
We'd love it if some DU-ers would do the same and spread the idea far and wide on social media. Thank you!

Also some store where younger people hang out. I'm so old I don't even know where but I'm sure they hang some place

(24,213 posts)I have been struggling with this, wanting to do something yet at 70, disconnected from the folks that this would impact. The post it notes are a fabulous idea, thanks!!!
I appreciate your enthusiasm!
I think it's so important to do a very grassroots effort as a show of strength and a voting motivator.
