Guidelines for Postcard Writers - New York Equal Rights Amendment Supplement

Please read these instructions thoroughly before beginning writing your postcards.

  • If you are postcarding with a group, everyone must complete the nonpartisan pledge. QR code can be found on the bottom of this page.
  • Use only cards provided by the RAC, with clear messages about the election.
  • Please use the script as a guide: These talking points were written in collaboration with our partner organizations for specific voter groups. Please only use the specific talking points listed and remain nonpartisan.
  • Please respect and protect voter privacy: Shred and delete voter address lists when done. Cover personal info if taking photos of your written postcards to share with friends.
  • Neatly hand write and address: a personal touch. Do not pre-print addresses or script. If your handwriting is iffy, please have a friend check your cards for legibility.
  • Please use color to underline or highlight key phrases or decorate a bit. This makes our cards eye-catching and personal; more likely to be noticed, picked up and read!
  • Leave 1" space under the address for the Post Office to affix or print a barcode, and ample room at the top for the postmark. No decorative stickers, as they can jam postal scanners.
  • Feel free to ask questions to campaign@rac.org.
  • Before you begin writing your postcards take a moment to mark the moment with a blessing. Take what could be a mundane act and elevate it to a higher level. You can offer the blessing provided on the small card or another of your own choosing or creation.
  • All postcards should be mailed between October 10-20!
