Podcast: Seattle Chapter of Jack and Jill of America Rallies Youth for Voter Outreach Postcard Drive

This podcast episode introduces a voter outreach initiative by the Seattle Chapter of Jack and Jill of America ahead of the November midterm elections. The organization is hosting a community postcard-writing drive in Kent, aiming to send 5,000 handwritten messages encouraging infrequent voters in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Texas to participate in elections.

The episode features host Christopher B. Bennett discussing the campaign with Nicole Alston-Abel, the chapter’s vice president, along with teen president Vivian Cayetano and teen legislative chair Brooklyn Sims. The discussion focuses on the initiative’s dual purpose: increasing voter turnout and fostering intergenerational civic engagement by involving young people in democratic participation.
