This racist scandal in Los Angeles City Council is horrifying.

2) Councilmember Gil Cedillo, representing the First District (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angel…)

Councilmember Nury Martinez, representing the Sixth District (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angel…)

Councilmember Kevin de León, representing the Fourteenth District (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angel…)

Yo- running for office in 2022 in PA? Cool. Help me out here.

New rule. Before you start asking for help, talk up the 2021 OPPORTUNITY elections. People from school director to supreme court face an uphill struggle for attention.

How can you help?

d) Share staff expertise as you can

2/5
e) Help 2021 OPPORTUNITY candidates master persuasion and GOTV
f) Use your reach to persuade people to register, to request mail-in, to vote
g) Visit the rural, flyover counties (in person or digitally)
h) Talk numbers. My borough council swung by 5 votes in 2019.

Okay, two things on #NationalRunForOfficeDay:

It’s January!
If you live in a town in Massachusetts, there’s a VERY good chance you have a spring election!
Go check out your town clerk’s webpage and find out. There are all KINDS of positions one can run for in a town!
Read up on these positions! Call Town Hall and ask for info!
It is absolutely possible to set policy and regulation in your town on a host of issues by running for a local position. Local offices make a big difference!
(I mean, I have a soft spot for running for school committees, or course, but library boards, and boards of health, and parks, and the light commission, and so forth all need good people!)
