What is Operation Letterbox?
- Calling all green voters with a pen and paper -
We believe in the power of human connections to create change.
That's why we are launching Operation Letterbox - we are connecting people who are thinking of voting green with people who already do via hand-written letters!
Research shows that sending our personal reasons for voting green with this kind of direct communication initiates powerful conversations in households and beyond.
Join us in this exciting project. We love to remind ourselves that together, we have power. Operation Letterbox is most certainly the embodiment of that!
How it works
Scottish Green Party members across the Highlands & Islands write letters….
…telling others about why they vote Green and the local issues and policies that matter to them…
…to encourage others to vote Green…
…to make change happen – a greener, fairer Council!
