This caring Cardie directs her energy for the greater good. We have Roxann to thank for our Get Out The Vote postcard, free to individuals and organizations that encourage people to exercise this valuable right.
In June of ’22, Roxann emailed us, “As I am nearing retirement, I’m spending more time as an activist. I volunteer with a few voter registration organizations and, being a huge fan of Cardthartic, I am inspired to write and ask if you’d have any interest in creating postcards for volunteers at the various postcard project organizations?”
Motivated by her commitment and honored that she tapped us for support, we replied, “Thanks for your civic engagement, Roxann. Needed more than ever! Sounds like you’ve identified an important need. Count us in!”
She was then great to send samples illustrating the Do and Don’t of getting out the vote. 💪🏼 For example, “One suggestion I have is to design a card with the entire back blank to allow for a longer message.” Check! “Leave space for larger handwriting. Many of the organizations I’m writing with have set scripts that are lengthy and, when our handwriting is small, I’m concerned recipients might toss the card instead of reaching for their glasses.” Check! “Make them affordable. Many people want to volunteer and simply can’t buy the cards and stamps needed.” Check!
Having learned through past initiatives how civic-minded many of our community members are, we emailed a PDF of Roxann’s brainchild for feedback to Cardies Gloria Dougherty, Judy Gibson and Candy Clausell. To their feedback, our great graphic designer Brandon Hawthorne listened carefully and created accordingly.
Thanks to Roxann, in advance of the 2022 Midterm Elections — and for local referendums for years to come — our Cardie Community can remind those who care about the future of our democracy: “The outcome of every election hinges on who shows up.”
