More than that, vote every time you can. Primaries, local elections, all of it.
Just remember: You make these buy-ins society-wide by talking about them and curing others of their cynicism.
Apathy is how bad actors win. That’s what they want from you. It’s even better for them than fear.
Islamophobia is anti-American.

1. Hope for the best.
2. Prepare for the worst.
3. Remember that, when standing together with your friends and neighbors, you have more power than you know.
Voting should be as easy as possible. If someone wants to make voting harder, they don't want to prevent fraud. They just don't want you to vote.
That being said, our ability to vote doesn't matter if we don't use it.
Protect your right to vote. Use your right to vote.
Which political truisms do you find untrue or misguided?
On the date of her death, we want to reflect on abolitionist and suffragette Harriet Tubman, who wasn't content escaping slavery only once. Instead, she put herself in harm's way to free dozens of others.
Be the help your community needs. Be like Harriet Tubman. #WomensHistoryMonth
Gas prices are up again, which means your urban planning friend is once again proven right about walkable cities.
There is no excuse for denying people lifesaving care and punishing them for addiction.
It's not just horrific — it's unconstitutional and discriminatory.
On International Women’s Day, remember: if someone had to fight for your rights, use them.
This goes for more than voting. Women had to fight for a voice in their workplaces, churches, and communities. Go make a difference.
Non-women, actively support them. Stand up to injustice.
Te mereces algo mejor.
Most laws that impact your life exist at the local level. Yes, even in the era of a rogue DHS. Get involved locally and take back your agency. Your neighbors are counting on you.
Kristi Noem being out as head of DHS is good news, even if her successor is the same. Disruptions and disarray need to happen again and again until MAGA’s anti-human agenda is non-actionable. You have the power to make your community a welcoming space for immigrants.
What does the word “liberal” mean to you? Good connotations and bad connotations alike. There are no wrong answers.
The hardest thing our social media manager has to do this month is come up with Saint Patrick’s Day-based egalitarian messages. Any ideas, friends?
A free society requires freedom of information. The public needs to consent to be governed, and consent is all about communication.
Our institutions are only as liberal as the people who sustain them. Don’t outsource your citizenship. Be an active citizen every day.
Black History Month is almost over, but the fight for freedom never is. Wherever we are, no matter the time, we all need to stand up to injustice. #BlackHistoryMonth
Nobody is free until everybody is free.
NEW: We released a report examining how the Trump administration is transforming state and local police into a national deportation force by expanding the 287(g) program.
Who are the people? ALL the people.

Abolitionist writer David Walker was born of a free mother and an enslaved father. If the two roles were switched, he would have been born into slavery. Today, we invite you to read more about his life and writings. #BlackHistoryMonth content.boston.gov/news/david-w...
Our constitutional rights haven't changed.
Despite what ICE may claim, we all have the right to record and document ICE activities in public. We're suing.
ICYMI: We talked to the amazing Otto Lehto as part of our series on Liberal Emancipation. Watch it here: youtu.be/dhc0mK9YETg?...
