What Can I Do?

Find an organization which aligns with your values (lists on Constitution, Cost of Living, and Conversation pages)

Attend an event, a townhall, a workshop, a protest. Find details on your org website or on sites like Mobilize. 

Don't have time to volunteer, but do have treasure? Make a donation!

Consider writing a letter to the editor or an op-ed to your local newspaper

Find out if you are registered and how to register in your state at vote.org

Consider running for office!

Amplify the events, activities, and accomplishments of organizations you care about on social media

There is power in numbers. Create a new coalition of local organizations (churches, small businesses, professional groups, universities, etc) to take action together

Emails are fine, but calls are better. Find your congressperson and their contacts here. Many organizations, including 5calls.org, also have call scripts on different issues if you want help!

Many organizations have petitions or commitments you can sign. For example, you can check out the League of Women Voters Unite and Rise commitment

Film a short video or write a short blurb of how you have been personally affected and share it online (and with us!). Sharing lets others know they are not alone and inspires others to take action.

This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Volunteer at one of the organizations listed or an organization you care about, especially in your local community.

Join groups and find others passionate about your issue. Meet others and find regular ways to get together and discuss (happy hours, book clubs, etc.)
