You’ve marched for women.
You’ve marched for your lives.
You’re wearing #RedForEd.
Now what?
Here are a couple of short lists of things you can do that make a big impact. These lists are not meant to be comprehensive, but feel free to leave your feedback about what I missed in the comments.
Fight where you stand (what you can do right now, today, and for the next few days – a little effort goes a long way):
- Register to vote, and make sure the people in your family are registered to vote
- Register your 17-year-old friends to vote (they can register to vote if they turn 18 before the next election – Nov. 6, 2018 – register my 17yo to vote)
- Motivate in CD8 – the state is rallying around this special election (April 24th), and there are dozens of events and volunteer opportunities around the state. Phone banks, text banks, and canvassing opportunities are ongoing until April 24th. Volunteer or donate to Hiral.
- Sign the Outlaw Dirty Money initiative, and make sure your entire family and all your friends sign it (How do I carry a petition?)
- Wear #RedForEd on Wednesdays, and keep putting the pressure on the Governor and Legislature to fund our schools with a dedicated funding source
Long term change (how to become an activist):
- Attend your local Democratic meeting, by legislative district (LD) or county (Not sure what district you’re in?)
- Get signatures to become a Precinct Committeeperson (scroll to the section under Precinct Committeemen Election Information)
- Support or volunteer for a woman of color running for office (Black Women in Politics – search by state; please send me any other lists I can add)
- Drive a candidate for a canvass
- Request a day off on August 28th, 2018 and November 6, 2018 to drive people to the polls
Like I said, feel free to leave a comment about what I missed. Keeping these lists short was intentional :)
