Related: About this forum10 million letters to be sent. They need volunteers. And it increased voting in Alabama by 3.4%
https://votefwd.org/?fbclid=IwAR3f7AUPnPVNhBbZIASI6enAhOiOUVJ4rz8wWVLQOfWylNXt9vZ-5-Sp62cSomeone on FB asked me to do this. You just print out a template letter and maybe sign your name (?) and then mail it when they tell you. Studies have shown that people who get a letter are more likely to vote that people who do not.

It is a good thing to do.
You do have to write a few sentences of your own to personalize the letters, but it is doable.

Or get someone in an office to print them out.

I think there is a way on their website to print them out if you don't have a printer.

Looking forward to writing letters and helping to get out the vote. I also shared the link on social media.

I found them via SwingLeft, thanks to a friend's recommendation. Haven't written any letters yet, but I'm going to dive in starting today.
