Request postcardsThe postcard project
One card, one question, one Governor.
Governor Ivey holds the power to spare Mark Jenkins’ life. The postcard project puts that request in front of her in the handwriting of the people making it.
If you live in Alabama and would like to write one—on your own, with your family, or with your congregation—we will mail cards to you.
The question on every card
If you were to speak to the Governor, why would you say Mark Jenkins deserves clemency?
One question, answered in your own words, in your own hand.
The cards
A growing tapestry.
Every card that comes back is scanned, both sides, and shown here.
Write one yourself
Three steps, and the mail does the rest.
We mail cards to addresses in Alabama. There is no cost to you.
Answer the question
Write what you would say to the Governor. A few lines is enough. Signing your name is optional.
Mail it to us
We gather and send the cards together so that Mark’s request reaches the Governor with many voices, rather than one letter at a time.
