Content Data

This page contains data entry 11785 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

Apologies in advance because this is going to be long but I wanted to give several options for how you personally can get involved.

1. Change starts locally. Join your local community organizations. Participate in local and special elections. They matter a lot more than people realize because change rolls up. Communities influence cities, which influence states, which eventually influence the federal government if the majority of states pass the same laws (of course, this is how it's SUPPOSED to work but we have a great deal of corruption to deal with first). This is idealistic, and an arduous, seemingly near-impossible journey. But it starts at home.

2. Canvassing is shown to be the *most effective* way of raising voter participation and winning a vote. Voter turnout has shown to increase by 6%. Organizations can send you small amount of contacts (I usually get 3ish at a time within a couple blocks max of my house and you can opt out any time) for similarly leaning non-voters/centrists to provide *non partisan, easily sourced* information that the general public may be too uninformed to understand without pushing people away with partisanship.

3. If you can't join an organization/movement, consider donating to one you support.

4. Stay informed. Go to your town hall meetings.

5. Write to your senator, congressman, and governor. On *everything* that you support or oppose. If they vote in your interest, write to thank them for properly representing the people. If they don't, *tell them*. *Loudly.* Squeaky wheel.

6. Joining protests is another way to have a movement seen. Unfortunately, without disrupting the status quo, peaceful protests go on deaf ears. This is a toughy though because people who don't understand the gritty details of why people are protesting believe they're just annoying, disruptive, violent, or crazy.

7. Provide *sources* for everything you claim. In this "fake news" propaganda era, we need to be 100% nonpartisan with the spread of information.

8. Volunteer! Food banks, homeless shelters, read books to children at your local library, tutor students, charities, environmental cleanup. **A community that sticks together and helps each other is a happy community and happy communities are much stronger than divided ones.**

9. Be a walking billboard. Not everyone loves this and I totally get why, but I wear clothes that draw attention to non-partisan issues. I get questions and I get to answer without pushing myself on others.

Fight the good fight. Every single citizen matters. We outnumber them. We *can* win if we all participate. It's tough and seems impossible but **no change has ever come from inaction.**
