Delivering Democracy

Imagine troupes of dancing mailboxes, amusing people in public spaces in different towns all across Pennsylvania, and then giving out flyers with useful and accurate information about how and where to vote by mail, to vote by drop box, and/or to vote in person. This is #DeliveringDemocracy!

There has been a lot of disinformation going around lately, knocking the post office and saying that mail-in ballots are “fraudulent.” We know this isn’t true, and we are making playful street theatre across the state of Pennsylvania to uplift morale, instill faith in the Post Office and dropbox/in person voting, and spread useful voter information to as many people as we can during the last, crucial month before Election Day.

Post-Election Day, Delivering Democracy is shifting the message from telling everyone HOW to vote in their locality to the concept that “Democracy is Worth Waiting For.” We give speeches, pass out flyers, put out press releases, and hold events explaining that it is normal and fine for vote counting to continue for a while, especially in a pandemic. As patriotic, harmless, cute and fun mailboxes, we provide the civil service of calm, confidence, and accurate information–in character.
