Stick It to the Supreme Court

Here is some grassroots activism almost everyone can do to increase midterm turnout:

My friends and I are carrying around pens and sticky notes and/or big mailing labels (things with adhesives that don't cause property damage when removed) and writing messages such as:
- "Defend Choice - Defeat Republicans on 11/8"
- “On 11-8 Vote Blue — or else the GOP will take your right to birth control too.”
- In red states, people are including abortion access website links.

We're placing these notes in public restrooms, highway rest stops, transit stations, shopping malls--any high visibility place.

We'd love it if some DU-ers would do the same and spread the idea far and wide on social media. Thank you!

Really good idea. I might do this!

Also some store where younger people hang out. I'm so old I don't even know where but I'm sure they hang some place

Hopefully if we can get a certain number of people to do it nationwide, others will see the notes and copy the idea and it will keep spreading.

I have been struggling with this, wanting to do something yet at 70, disconnected from the folks that this would impact. The post it notes are a fabulous idea, thanks!!!

I appreciate your enthusiasm!

I think it's so important to do a very grassroots effort as a show of strength and a voting motivator.
