Handwritten postcards work. Research shows that personal voter contact can boost turnout by 1-3 percentage points, often more than enough to decide close elections. And 60% of unregistered voters have never even been asked to register.
Our postcard team meets on Fridays at 3 p.m. at Bend Church (680 NW Bond St) to write to voters likely to be moved to vote in key districts. It's simple, impactful, and a great way to build community while making a difference.

This victory comes after 14 months of negotiations and strong community support. Staff returns to work with a hard-earned win that will meaningfully improve livelihoods across COCC.
WIN: Federal Appeal Dismissed in National Guard Case. Oregon secured a key victory as the federal government’s appeal in the National Guard case was dismissed, leaving Judge Immergut’s injunction in place.

WIN: Indivisible Bend, in partnership with the new Indivisible group in Madras, secured a $2,500 Indivisible Grow Grant (Solidarity in Action) for the Latino Community Association (LCA).

We are grateful to Indivisible for this support and look forward to collaborating with LCA to train Indivisible Bend members in the future.
