Kim Moscaritolo, a Democratic Party candidate to represent Roosevelt Island and the Upper East Side in NYC Council District 5, is organizing the postcard writing event. According to Ms Moscaritolo:

So we're writing postcards to voters. Some will be going to voters in Iowa in support of Democratic candidate Theresa Greenfield for Senate. Others will be going to voters in Florida, encouraging them to request their vote by mail ballots. We had a similar event on the Upper East Side last Saturday and it was a big success...15 volunteers showed up during Labor Day weekend to help.

My goal here is to engage folks on Roosevelt Island who want to get involved in the election, but don't know where to begin. And if we can encourage folks to buy some food or drink at a local Roosevelt Island business, all the better!

Finally took a ride on the @NYCferry Astoria line from 90th Street to Roosevelt Island! Got to check out the relocated cat sanctuary. 😺 pic.twitter.com/Ipqgd76y3T

I should note, you do not have to live on Roosevelt Island to sign up! There is now a very convenient ferry that gets you from the UES to RI in under 15 minutes, and we will be right near Nisi Kitchen, which has some yummy drinks!
