Update: I already did 8 of the 9 and both gratitudes. I made a few phone calls, filled out contact forms, and wrote two postcards. Plus the joy, kindness, grace, and remembering. How are you doing with our work for democracy?

You will find a way to support democracy here ⬇️. Because of @aocchecklist, I no longer worry about who to contact or what to say. I figured out how to make anxiety a tool instead of an obstacle. I feel empowered.

I highly recommend this one! Wonderful reflection and motivating resource.

Open the Checklist. Choose one action that speaks to you—whether it’s protecting voting rights, supporting fair courts, advocating for a separated family, or advancing equality.

Give ten (or less!) minutes to do it.

Important: Click the tick box next to the action. (We tally these every month!)

Why is any Democrat talking about Joe Biden now? There is a currently elected President who is doing incredible damage and Dems should be speaking about that, talking about fixing that.

Children in Gaza should be fed and sheltered. There isn’t another option.
