If you’re a regular listener of New Faces of Democracy, you’re probably no stranger to the postcard writing groups that have blossomed since the 2016 election. In fact, you may have written some of them yourself. But Nancy’s guest on this episode, Erin Miller, has come up with a different take on the postcard concept with her new group, Cartoons for Democracy. Instead of writing to Democrats to get out the vote as existing groups do, she is targeting Republican and independent voters with postcards featuring political cartoons in an effort to break through corporate media bubbles and get people thinking for themselves. Erin and Nancy talk about the power of political cartoons, why postcards are uniquely well suited for this kind of messaging, and the current postcard campaign going on in Virginia where you can have an impact in the upcoming elections there. To learn more about Cartoons for Democracy or make a donation, visit their website here or you can order postcards for their current campaigns here.
