by Duane Raymond (PostBug)

Hi everyone, You signed up to this list to get event updates only, except I usually forget to post them here - so this is a start :-) (FYI: I founded the list under the FairSay / ECF identity) With my PostBug.com hat on (as well as my Campaigning Forum one), I'm kicking off a series of three election-planning discussions on a Zoom call <https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUuduGsqDwsHtek4dJUmeEN224CBUiqr_…>: one for EU elections, one for UK elections and one for US elections: 1. Fri Feb 12 *EU* Election discussion: 12:30 CET/ 11:30 UK 2. Tue Feb 27 *UK* Election discussion: 12:30 CET/ 11:30 UK 3. Thu Feb 29: *US* Election discussion: 11:00 EST / 08:00 PST / 16:00 UK / 17:00 CET *This will be a discussion with all participants able to contribute. So consider what you can share and what you may wish to ask others.* I'll kick off each call with a few minutes about PostBug and using printed postcards (and letters) for campaigning around elections and beyond. PostBug can now be used worldwide but I am *emphasizing EU, UK, the US* (and later in the year Canada (elections on or before October 20, 2025) and Australia (on or before 27 September 2025)) Register to join <https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUuduGsqDwsHtek4dJUmeEN224CBUiqr_…>. My Zoom account is currently limited to 100 person meetings but I will upgrade if there is more demand. I look forward to seeing many of you online and discussing election plans for 2024! Cheers, Duane PS - I will also use it as input for the upcoming Campaigning Forum event in Oxford, UK March 19-21 <https://fairsay.com/campaigning-forum-2024> - join us for an in-person discussion!
