Some things are easier to do in a group. If you have like-minded friends you’d like to build a resistance pod with, we’ve tagged simple tasks that lend themselves to group activities, like visiting a museum or forming a book club. Build on the relationships you already have and create an agile ready-response team that can tackle whatever comes up!
Real vote theft is mundane and it’s going to take a lot of boring effort to counter — so gather your friends and create a vote club! It’s like a book club, but for democracy! You don’t have to work for the local candidate…work on voter participation, or pick a race you are excited about.
Did your candidate just win a primary?How exciting! Did you lose? Pick a race somewhere else — it’s time for all of us to get geared up for the midterms! If your local candidate inspires you, reach out to the party. If you’re looking further afield, check Mobilize for phone bank opportunities, and get the word out!
We talk about mutual aid, community building and feeding people…what if someone had already sorted out the logistics? Check out Lasagna Love, who connect families needing a little love (and a lasagna) with people willing to make one! If you aren’t ready to bake, you can also donate. lasagnalove.org
As we gear up for the midterms, have you considered joining Postcards to Voters? It takes a little prep work to get set up, then you can do as few as five cards at a time. If you’re disappointed about a local primary result, work to elect someone you do like.
