It’S Going To Take All of us

Each of us can make a difference, so do what you can, and perhaps even stretch to do something you didn’t know you could do. 

Everyone has their first time attending a protest or displaying a yard sign or testifying to the state legislature. What’s your first time?

If activism isn’t new to you, then share your experience and wisdom with others.

CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

  • VOTE

  • Call your elected representatives

  • Support a candidate or other campaign with work, money, or a yard sign

  • Run for office
