But what can I do about it?
But what can I do about it?
It turns out, there is a lot you can do
It’s a familiar refrain: “There’s nothing I can do about it.”
But when it comes to democracy, that’s just not true. There is a lot that each of us can do to help defend democracy in the US. Many organizations sponsor action-oriented events, and they’re ready to put us to work right now. The great news is that it’s not hard to find ways to align our skills and interests with opportunities to make a real difference.
Here are two resources you can use to find meaningful ways to make a difference in the short term:
Visit The Union ACTION CENTER. This tool enables you to search hundreds of listings that will connect you with local and/or national opportunities to help defend democracy right now.
Sign up for the Grassroots Connector, a Substack that seeks to support grassroots groups, activists and volunteers during this critical election year. It’s written by and for a group of grassroots leaders committed to electing pro-democracy candidates across the country. The Substack reports on innovative grassroots projects and the latest research on voter contact strategies. Beyond words on a page, they offer spaces for leaders to come together, share, and grow.
The time to take action is now. Before it’s too late.
If you’d like to help defend democracy in the US, we invite you to join The Union.
