Show Notes
Erin Miller, Founder of Cartoons for Democracy, joins Deepak Puri, Founder of The Democracy Labs, to discuss using postcards to enable people who can't canvass due to age, location, or time constraints to support campaigns. A political cartoon on one side of a postcard with a handwritten note is an eye-catching way to communicate a message quickly and humorously to a broad audience, and it is proving effective at getting attention from voters.
Deepak and Erin talk about
- Why postcarding is a crucial tool for activism and complementary to other tactics
- Finding ways to overcome digital disinformation
- Role of the Campaign Postcard Captain
- How cartoons and humor can bypass literacy and attention span barriers to plant a seed about an idea
