Postcard for Change

Name: Blue

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, Bridgette Olsen

Type of Fieldwork: Direct Action

What I did:

We wrote postcards to people in Florida reminding them to vote for amendment 4 and that there vote really matters. The whole grade participated in this activity.

What I learned:

I learned that there a lot of people that should participate in the vote and that a lot don’t because people have made them believe that there vote doesn’t matter.

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

I learned social justice work means to write a lot of letters and that there are specific directions you have to follow to complete the work and that is repetitive.
