Name: Noelle Raffo

Social Justice Group: 2018-2019

Date of Fieldwork: October 1, 2018

Name of Organization: Lift Every Vote

Person (people) with whom I met and their job titles: Molly Harris, Brigette Olsen

Type of Fieldwork: Direct Action

What I did:

We wrote postcards to various people in Florida urging them to vote yes on Amendment 4.

What I learned:

I learned that there are a lot of people who’s votes are called not valid and then kicked off, so they need to be informed of that.

What I learned about Social Justice “work” and/or Civil and Human rights “work” from this fieldwork:

I learned that there is a lot of work that goes into making a change. We all sat there writing a bunch of post cards over and over again for 2 hours and make 237. I also learned that there are a lot of ways to make social change that are not just protests or strikes-the first things that come to mind. I never would have though that postcards would be a way to do social justice work, but it is.
