Resistance In A Box

What is Resistance-in-a-box?

A means of getting groups who’ve never been activists before to become more politically involved

  • A letter-writing strategy that will lead to more democratic-leaning voters in eleven super states registering to vote

  • In essence, it’s a party in a box that has everything a book club would need to host a letter-writing event, including follow-up ideas for getting more involved as activists

  • Unboxing is a trend on the internet where people make viral videos about the excitement and mystery of unpackaging an exciting gift. The top unboxing videos get billions of views.

Why letters?

  • People who receive written appeal letters that include a voter registration link:

    • register at a rate 4.3% higher 

    • vote at a rate 1.6% higher

  • This strategy focuses on unregistered voters

    • People who register are  >90% likely to vote in presidential election. 

  • Building new communities of activists nationwide

    • Catalyst for political engagement (Gateway Drug to Activism)
