do MORE  than vote!

Voting is an essential civic duty and critical to eventually achieving a truly representative democracy. However, in this era with our democracy in crisis - with Trump, Musk and Republicans no longer upholding their oaths to uphold the U.S. Constitution - the stakes of the future of our democracy are on the line daily and especially November 3, 2026 - you must vote AND do more than vote!

 

Voting is essential - but no longer sufficient. Your weapons to fix our democracy are:

​

Step 1 - Be visible. Be vocal. Always be messaging: wear a button, get a bumper sticker, get an American flag - be a beacon of resistance and patriotism so others identify with you!

 

Step 2 - Mobilize people you care about to get involved with you in activism in defense of our country.  You have "social capital" you can invest. Meet in person, have some drinks - organize!

​

Step 3 - Find or form group - there is strength, community and joy in mobilizing together. 

​

Getting involved in civic "activism" and doing the three steps above multiplies your "vote" for democracy and supports the people fighting back against the billionaire assault on our families and communities. Activism is a personal choice to rise above apathy and frustration - and to act on behalf of those who don't know how or have the ability to get involved - such as immigrants, children etc... ​

 

For decades Republicans have been working across the country waging war on and hijacking our democratic institutions - perverse gerrymandering, purging voters from voter roles, undermining the Voters Rights Act, weaponization of dark money etc. THEY are doing a lot more than just voting. To counter this - so must WE!
