As a longtime Dem living in a more rural (I.e. ‘red’) area we had to ‘play it safe’. Our kids grew up not discussing politics in public because we didn’t want to cause trouble. Well, as the late, great John Lewis has taught us, it’s now time to make some ‘Good Trouble’. I’ve watched the video. I went to ActBlue and I’m donating monthly to the Biden-Harris campaign. It’s time to come out of the shadows. As the video says It’s time to finish the job. A big win in 2024 would nail in the MAGA coffin.

"Run for Something" recruits and trains young people to run for stste and local office....a great place to donate.

"VoteRiders" works with voters to ensure they have the correct IDs to vote...many do not after the tsunami of voter suppression laws that swept the country. Student IDs aren't acceptable in some states, divorced women who haven't updated their driver's licenses, etc. A great place to donate or volunteer.

Donate directly to great candidates (Adam Frisch almost won against Lauren Boebert)...the DNC/DCCC ignored the race. Donate directly to the candidates.

Turnout is always a struggle for Democrats. Volunteer with "Postcards to Voters" or textbanking to teach voters who need a nudge to vote.

Volunteer to be election workers...many long-term workers retired because of GOP intimidation tactics. Volunteer as a group to combat these techniques, it's only a short time commitment, and training is provided.
