What better way to inform your stakeholders of the existence of the Neighborhood Council System than by mail? By sending a mailer out to each residence within your Neighborhood Council’s boundaries, you can effectively introduce, or re-introduce, your Neighborhood Council and garner more support, voter turnout, and candidate registration for 2016 Elections. More than 75% of the Neighborhood Councils in Regions One and Four have adopted a mailing campaign to touch every mailbox within their districts. Here you can see an example from Panorama City Neighborhood Council in English and Spanish. Sending out these mailers is a good step in making the Neighborhood Council System more inclusive, especially by reaching out to all English and Spanish speaking stakeholders and presenting opportunities for engagement.

IEAs for each region will have more information about sending out mailers. As always, please contact (213) 978-1551 or email elections@empowerla.org with any questions.
