Postcard to Save Democracy

Write postcards to register swing-state Dems and to support Janelle Stelson's run for Congress in PA

Help swing the 2026 midterms toward sweeping Dem victories by joining the DTMG Postcard Brigade and writing postcards to unregistered but likely Dem voters in swing states! By using FieldTeam6's one-of-a-kind database and strong partisan message, you'll maximize the impact of your postcards: research has shown that these postcards increase voter registration and voter turnout. And you can choose how to take part: attend postcard parties, write cards on your own time, or both.

  • Click here to sign up for a voter-registration postcard party at Little Falls Library on Massachusetts Avenue in Bethesda, on Monday, July 13, 1:00-3:00 p.m.
  • Click here to sign up for a postcard party in Silver Spring on Monday, July 20, 1:00-3:00 p.m. These postcards will help support Janelle Stelson, running to replace MAGA-maniac Scott Perry in the US House from Pennsylvania’s 10th congressional district. (Side note: we’ll have lots of canvassing for Stelson coming up, too.)
  • Click here to pick up postcards and write them on your own time. (This is a new link for postcard pickup.) Use the drop-down menus to tell us how many 20-postcard packs you want and to choose one of our four Montgomery County pickup locations.
  • For all options, DTMG will provide the postcards, messages, instructions, and addresses (as well as pens and highlighters at the parties), and you'll provide the stamps. The cost of each pack of 20 postcards is $1 to cover our ordering expenses.
  • After signing up, look for a confirmation email from DoTheMostGood via Mobilize. (Check your spam folder if necessary.) And thanks in advance for mailing your postcards as soon as you complete them!

Curious About Canvassing?

Have questions about canvassing? A little interested, but not sure how to do it? Want to learn how to effectively talk with voters at the doors?

You've probably heard that canvassing -- those face-to-face conversations at people's doors -- is the most impactful form of voter contact. Perhaps you've never tried it, and you're thinking this might be the year...this should be the year...but you have questions. Or perhaps you've canvassed before but want some updated information and strategies. We'll offer all that and more during a Zoom call on Tuesday, July 28, 7:00-8:00 p.m. Sign up here, and bring all your questions!

About Us

We’ve Come a Long Way

DoTheMostGood was formed in December 2016 by a group of Hillary for America volunteers. Some of them had attended a ‘Do The Most Good’ meeting organized in Ellicott City one week after the November election. The organizers of that meeting encouraged attendees to mobilize their own communities.

The founding members of DTMG MoCo were seasoned political volunteers with years of experience working on local, state, and national political campaigns. Thus, along with a focus on resisting current attacks on democracy, from Day 1 we were also focused on helping to elect progressive candidates, locally and, to the best of our ability, nationally.

— where care drives change.
