Voting is not enough

I have so many friends who look at the world, and they have issues with it. Don’t we all?

And they all say the same thing. “Everyone needs to get out and vote.” Sure, that’s great, but it’s not enough.

Everyone needs to get involved. If there’s something you care about, do more for it. And do it actively. The $5 donation slacktivism isn’t enough. Volunteer your time.

Find a local organization that stands for something you believe in, and get involved. Offer to help with marketing, do a volunteer shift at one of their events, raise awareness as you go.

Beyond that, start paying attention to your local politics. Go to a town meeting, run for a local school board position, get involved.

March in the streets! Do crime!
