• Post Card Push Day - THE NUMBERS GAME: 2,000 postcards, 26 Chapters, 16 different states, 1 Day! 

How do you grab the attention of busy politicians?  Send them thousands of postcards!

On October 14^th, 26 different local NAYGN chapters from 16 different states sent collectively 2,000 postcards to their local and state legislators in support and awareness of National Nuclear Science Week (October 20-24).  Government officials will receive these Nuclear advocacy postcards from their district’s participating NAYGN local chapters, bringing awareness of the volume of constituents in their region who believe nuclear power is the future for energy sustainability. Thank you to all that participated and made this event a success!

• “Post Card Push Day has been a huge success because of how easy it is to fill out a post card and drop it in the mail.  Government outreach doesn’t solely depend on the message, but the volume of voting constituents who support that message.  Post Card Push Day captures both of those aspects and provides a unique avenue for nuclear advocacy.” - Chris Wolfe, Government Outreach
