Trump winning could be a death blow to our democracy. Here are ten things you can do RIGHT NOW to make sure that doesn’t happen.

#1. If you’re in a swing state, organize a civics group to talk about the importance of maintaining our democracy...🧵

Invite people from across the political spectrum. Don’t make it partisan. Democracy is NOT partisan. There are many platforms that can help you do this (i.e. Meetup) and if you need any advice, feel free to reach out to me as I’ve done this before. 🧵

#2 Write an op-Ed in your college paper about the importance of voting and volunteering in this election cycle. Contact student groups to see if you can visit campus and engage with students on their terms. Don’t talk down to them. Be honest and vulnerable.

#3 Get involved in voter registration efforts or otherwise help with voting rights efforts. Here are some good resources for that.

#4 Don’t deny the problems with your own political tribe. Don’t pretend like they don’t exist. That will just make Trump’s job’s easier in weaponizing them against us. If you see illiberal behavior, confront it. Independent voters will respect this.

#5 When talking to undecided voters, don’t treat democracy like some theoretical concern. Democracy is THE MOST important economic issue of them all. Look at what happened to the economies of Venezuela, Turkey, and Hungary when they went authoritarian.

#6 Be active on social media, but not just Twitter or X or whatever it's called. If you're good at making selfie videos, I'd highly recommend making a TikTok account. TikTok is awful, but we have to compete where the battle is. And the war over information is happening on TikTok.

#7 If you’re able, consider giving to campaigns/committees. Here are a couple good resources for that.

#8 Support and get involved in organizations that are doing good work on the ground. Here are some. @IndivisibleTeam @swingleft @runforsomething @VotersTomorrow @RedWineBlueUSA and so many more.

#9 Don't lose hope. The remaining months before the election will test all of us. We will all entertain doubts and think of the worst case scenario. This is normal. But we can’t let that fear get in the way of us ACTING. We must act. Every single day.

#10 Write an email to your friends and family explaining why they should get involved in this election cycle. Tell them what you’re doing and insist that each of them has the power to make a difference. Because they do. Just like you.
