Saving Our Democracy,
One Postcard at a Time
MARKERS FOR DEMOCRACY is dedicated to building and maintaining an inclusive and educated grassroots community focused on saving American democracy. We achieve this through daily engagement in postcard writing and other forms of activism to promote the election of Democrats up and down the ballot all over the country.
Our vibrant and determined community has been working on elections for the last six years, and we plan to be here through all of the elections still to come in 2025 and beyond. We left everything on the field in 2024, and that effort - our effot - was a powerful display of what grassroots commitment can accomplish.

“I can’t tell you how big I am into this ... Repeated voter contacts do matter ... Markers For Democracy. Let me recommend this site ... They are very organized ... I think that [postcard writing] is one of the most effective things people can do to save this country ... It’s called Markers For Democracy ... I am high on postcard writing!”
“It is inspiring to see citizens who are committed to defending democracy through personal engagement ... if you are looking for activism with a strong dose of community, check out Markers For Democracy.”
“Markers For Democracy ... is a gathering of regular folks on the east coast who’ve been getting together twice a week since 2016 to write postcards and listen to speakers... Their work, since Trump was elected, hasn’t stopped once. It hasn’t diminished. It hasn’t faltered. If anything they are still learning, still trying new things, and still gaining momentum. To say it was heartening to be with these wonderful folks is an understatement.”
We started in New York City, meeting at the Le Pain Quotidien farm table to write postcards to voters, and now we also meet virtually with guest speakers and activists joining from all over the U.S.
