My Faith Votes ‘Write Now’ campaign secures outreach to 300,000 eligible voters in 10 days
Postcard and letter-writing campaign mobilizes hundreds of thousands ahead of midterms
DALLAS — "Write Now,” a campaign launched by My Faith Votes, has volunteers committed to sending 300,000 handwritten letters and postcards to Christian voters in its first 10 days. While the postcard goal for 2022 has been reached, the ministry is working toward a combined goal of sending more than 1,000,000 postcards and letters before the November General Elections.
My Faith Votes is a nonpartisan organization that mobilizes people of faith to vote in every election. The “Write Now” campaign is a national effort with over 1,000 volunteers to date in the 2022 efforts, writing personalized messages to other Christians encouraging them to vote in the 2022 midterm elections. Within its first 48 hours, “Write Now” volunteers committed to writing over 100,000 postcards and letters to eligible voters around the country.
“The overwhelming support of our Action Partners reveals the heart of Christians in America,” said Jason Yates, CEO of My Faith Votes. “We long to see biblical values upheld in the public square. We believe God when he says in 2 Chronicles 7:14, ‘If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.’ Our nation needs healing. And our nation needs leaders who will represent our values correctly. We can't afford to stay silent. Our votes matter.”
My Faith Votes executed multiple Get Out the Vote campaigns at the state level in Virginia in 2021 and saw tremendous success–an unprecedented 57% increase in Christian voter turnout. During the Senate runoff election in Georgia, My Faith Votes planned to send 500,000 postcards, but that number doubled to 1 million due to the overwhelming response from volunteers.
Thousands of My Faith Votes volunteer Action Partners handwrite messages on postcards and letters provided by the organization and pray for the recipients before dropping them in the mail.
Volunteers are provided with instructions, letter templates, postcards, and lists of names. Letters and postcards can be written individually or by families, Bible studies, small groups, and church congregations.

My Faith Votes— is a ministry that motivates, equips, and activates Christians in America to vote in every election, transforming our communities and influencing our nation with biblical truth. An estimated 25 million Christians who are registered to vote, fail to vote in presidential elections. My Faith Votes is on a mission to change this statistic by helping Christians act on their faith and vote in every election. When we pray unceasingly for our nation, think biblically about the issues, and vote consistently in every election the impact of Christians taking action from the local to the state and federal level will be unprecedented.
