Enable fair elections
Get more involved in activities as a member, volunteer, or elected officer of your local political party. And when you do so, be a voice for democracy — not just partisan priorities. As many Americans disassociate with parties, it creates openings for those who are more extreme, ideological, or committed to securing power — even at the expense of our democracy.
Become a poll worker
Help your network vote. Make sure all of your contacts are registered to vote and encourage them to go to the polls in every election.
The National Association of Secretaries of State has specific pages that connect voters to their state’s website on things like registering to vote, checking voter registration status, finding your polling place.
Vote.org outlines important deadlines related to the election and allows you to sign up to get reminders of upcoming deadlines.
Support progressive candidates
Help someone run for office, or run for office yourself
If there’s a local candidate who aligns with your positions, get involved in their campaign. Leverage your contact list.
If you’ve determined there is no one running who meets your standards, run for office yourself.
