On Sunday, July 14, 1:00-3:00pm, at Pen Park Shelter #2, the Citizens’ Climate Lobby Charlottesville Chapter is putting on a potluck picnic and postcard writing event as part of the Environmental Voter Project (EVP).
All members, friends and family are welcome.
While sharing a meal and socializing, we’ll also write postcards to mobilize climate-friendly voters in Florida’s upcoming primary. We will have postcards and a brief script to copy. The EVP uses data analytics to identify environmental voters, then sends them tested and proven messages. They have a good track record of increasing environmental voter turnout.
Here are the important details (some of which are optional); the most important thing is that YOU be there!
FIND the picnic shelter by locating the tennis courts on Pen Park Road. Turn left at the courts. Parking is down the hill next to the shelters. Here’s a Google Maps link.
BRING a dish to share if you can, but no worries if you can’t! If you’d like, you can sign up here to see what’s needed.
BRING your own beverage or reusable water bottle, plate, and utensils. We’ll have a few compostable items and a jug of water if that’s not doable for you.
BRING your own favorite pens or small non-partisan stickers if you’d like. We’ll also have pens for you to use.
COMMIT to copying EVP’s exact postcard message; they’ve tested their wording, and we’re not allowed to ad-lib or change it.
DRESS for the weather and consider bug spray (the picnic area is near the woods). We’ll be infull shade.
CHECK your email in the morning; we may cancel or relocate in case of extreme weather.
