Hi everyone -
I’ve heard from so many of you who want to know how we move forward in this political climate. But how do we actually do that?
First, don’t tune out. It’s easy to be exhausted, but America needs you now more than ever. If previous generations had not fought for democracy, where would we be today?
Second, hold your elected officials, including me, accountable. Watch how they’re voting. Go to town halls and demand they take action. That’s as American as apple pie.
Third, organize. Pick just one issue you’re passionate about — and engage. And doom scrolling doesn’t count. Join a group that cares about your issue, and act. And if you can’t find one, start one.
Some of the most important movements in our history have come from the bottom up.
We all know that our country is going through something right now. We’re not sure what the next day is going to hold, let alone the next decade.
But this isn’t the first time we’ve experienced significant and tumultuous change as a country. I’m a student of history, and we’ve gone through periods of political instability before. And ultimately, we’ve chosen to keep changing this country for the better.
But every single time, we’ve only gotten through those moments because of two things: Engaged citizens and principled leaders.
Engaged citizens who do a little bit more than they’re used to doing to fight for the things they care about. And principled leaders who are ready to receive the ball and do something about it.
If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly:
I promise that I will do everything in my power to be the principled leader that you deserve.
