Also vote in local elections
They matter a huge amount for how your state, county, and city function.
We're learning that lesson in spades now with all the shriekers and Bible thumpers trying to stack school boards, ban books and curriculums.
Not only trying, but succeeding.
Yes, also very important and can't believe I missed including local elections! Good call out!
No worries, many people overlook them or forget to bring them up all the time.
Hell this last election in my locality was with a hundred votes in some cases.
Talk to your neighbors, talk to locals, be the advocate for your community if you can. Even if all you flip is a single vote that's a single vote more than before.
vote in local elections, vote in primaries. Get as many progressives in as you can.
I'm ashamed to admit that I paid them no attention when I was younger. I have changed that now, though.
