UU the Vote Update!

Mike Elliott is still collecting the last postcards from our UU the Vote campaign! He’ll be mailing them out Tuesday, September 17, which is National Voter Registration Day. Early voting in Minnesota starts Friday, September 20. The Minnesota Secretary of State’s website has great information on voting.

Mike will be at UUCM on Sunday to collect any remaining postcards. He’ll also have a box available for you to drop off your packet in the Community Room. Look for the UU the Vote sign.

50 congregants participated in signing 5,910 postcards. Many of you did numerous packets. Thank you to eeryone who participated to help encourage others to use their vote in creating a more just world!
