The Majority Project
'The Majority Project'
You bought the Majority Project postcard. Here's exactly where to send it.
Your postcard carries a simple message: the majority already agrees. 86% of Americans support universal background checks. Solid majorities back trans rights, abortion access, and a path to citizenship. And there's a real bill in Congress for every one of those: background checks (H.R. 18), the Equality Act (H.R. 15), the Women's Health Protection Act (H.R. 12), and the Dream Act. The offices below decide whether majority opinion becomes law.
How to address your postcard
Write the name and address exactly as shown, add your return address (Congress weighs constituent mail by where it's from), and use a regular postcard stamp. Mail to DC offices goes through security screening and can take 2 to 3 weeks. That is normal, it still gets counted.
Step 1: Always start with your own three
Congress listens hardest to the people who can vote for them. Before anything else, send one postcard to each of YOUR two senators and YOUR House member. Use the lookup below to find them and their DC office addresses.
Done with your three? Keep going. The targets below are the offices with the most power over this issue. They accept mail from everyone, because their decisions affect everyone.
