Now, here are some tips and reminders to get you through election week.
- Your worries are valid. There’s a lot at stake in this election. We need to work really, really hard because we are still very much at a very critical precipice of fascism in this country. If you’re feeling stressed, sign up to phone bank for a candidate or chip in to support a candidate like Summer Lee.
- Be intentional about your news intake. Cable news can be especially fear-mongering, so consider setting some limits or reading articles instead.
- Polling data is a data point, but it’s not the end all be all. If anything, it should act as a motivator.
- Make sure your friends and family have a plan to vote. Offer to drive them to the polls, or send them resources about where to vote and what’s on their ballot.
- Lastly, remember that no matter what happens, we have each other's backs and that our movement is stronger than any single election outcome.
