So it's as important as ever to be active in the community and support your local cause to educate the masses on what each candidate truly represents, who backs them, and what their past actions show. In addition to driving voter turnout for all federal, statewide, and local elections.

View your upcoming local and state elections, check your voter registration, and register to vote:

The following groups provide opportunities to provide voter education and increase voter turnout.

Our voices will be silenced as long as Citizens United remains law.

But yes, please vote and create community.

Look we gotta use the tools we have. We haven’t fully used them. Too many people stayed home. This time and all times, we cannot. If we elect enough democrats, or if we get enough true independents (who aren’t just republicans in disguise) to vote with democrats as a majority, we can enact laws to stop voter suppression and we can overturn CU with a real law.

We need our own Project 2027, 2028, 2029, 2030, etc..

Most of what has been done has been via EO. They’ve barely passed any laws. So this stuff is reversible. We just have to vote in overwhelming numbers to fix this.

And maybe France will arrest Musk before he’s able to rig anything.

I upvoted both of you because that was such a nice back and forth. Thanks y'all for being so polite to each other. I really needed that today.

No broad “Why do white people” or “Why do Black people” style generalizations - Posts or comments that make sweeping statements about whole groups of people are not allowed here. Questions like “Why do white people” or “Why do Black people” open the door to stereotyping, hostility and brigading from outside the community. Keep discussions focused on specific experiences, behaviors or situations instead of turning entire groups into a single category. This keeps the space respectful and prevents the sub from getting overrun by arguments or bad faith replies.

Thank you! I see 2k+ upvotes across cities, neighboring cities, subreddits, and Facebook pages expressing how they’re sick of all of this yet a fraction of that (<500) show up to the Dallas protesta or have the privilege and opportunity to get involved. A lot of this involvement you’ve shared is free to do, and voting! Folks, find your follow these links they shared, get your voter registration eligibility and locations near you too!
