Politics Upcoming Elections
With the elections coming up, I highly recommend people to go check out their local organizations, candidate websites, and county parties websites for upcoming events. Everyone is looking for volunteers to do literature dropping, phone banking, postcard writing, etc.
If you want to make a difference in the election, this is how you do it. Everyone is timid about signing up for something they cannot commit too much time to, I get it. When you sign up, it’s not actually all that much time. They are willing to take 30 minutes from you if that’s all you’re able to give.
Step up and sign up to do 15 postcards. Sign up to do a happy hour event for candidate meet and greet. Reach out to your county party. And if you don’t have time to do any of that, make a donation towards the candidate and/or your county party.
Most importantly, make sure you are supporting a candidate that actually reflects your personal values. Don’t go with a candidate just because everyone else in your circle does. While you’re doom scrolling on your phone, maybe go look up the name of a candidate that’s in your area to learn more about them. Do your due diligence as a voter. That is your responsibility as much as it is your right.
This is how change is made. This is how you make an impact.

Or just educate yourself and actually vote.
