I love Postcards to Voters -- have written with them for years. I also use Markers for Democracy, and Vote Forward (although they use partially printed out/partially hand-written form letters, which I don't favor as much). Etsy has great bundles of vote-related postcards at reasonable prices. I agree about buying your postcard stamps early. Early voting in most places starts the first few weeks in October so most postcards need to be SENT a week BEFORE that date (different per state).
We use Field Team 6 addresses with QR codes to voter registration sites. With FT6 we can choose a district with a competitive race. And we use postcards from Cartoons for Democracy with the addresses able scrips from FT6
My group is currently writing postcards to all of the Democrat and Unenrolled/Independents in our small town of 5,000+. I saw that in our presidential election we had more republican women that voted for the current administration, yup, women. So I took it upon myself to get a voter list. I am currently putting together hundreds, even more (I'm hoping) postcards to mail out to remind the D/U/I to get to the Midterm polls. No Rs have been included in this list because as we see it, they have done enough damage to our country, haven't they?
Buy your postcard stamps long before you need them. Took two different stops today to acquire the number I need, and wouldn’t surprise me if this admin makes them scarce the closer we get to the midterms.
Postcards to Voters PostcardsToVoters.org has campaigns most days, with a default mailing date of 3 days from the date you request addresses. Their mailing date is shorter if an election is close so postcards wouldn't reach the recipients in time if mailed later.
Working on my stack of two hundred CO-8 voters for Activate America!
Thank you.

Thank you! Added Markers for Democracy to the Linktree! :)
Don't forget you can get postcard stamps sent directly to your house from the USPS. Less heartbreak.

Good to do with others and make it a social thing!

That is a smart idea!

I've been writing hundreds of postcards for the last 2 years with Fieldteam6. It's a way of contributing for us introverts! Write on!

Have 100 on my desk now and another 100 on the way!
As a homebound caregiver, this is something I can do!!

The link for Signs of Justice isn't working. Could you post a correction? I'd like to buy a kit from them.
This worked for me https://vote.signsofjustice.com/
That worked. Thanks so much!
You're welcome.
What is the time/dates for sending the cards? I will be travelingand unable to work on this until the 22nd of October.
The ones I'm writing for "Postcards to Swing States" need to be mailed on October 12. Midterms are November 3. Maybe another election?
