If you want to save democracy but are feeling overwhelmed and helpless, pick one thing🧵

Pick a state/local race & focus all your volunteer energy on it this Summer

Phone bank, knock doors, help w/ social media

Winning those races will create the firewall we desperately need at the state level, but will feel more achievable than saving the whole country by yourself

Your work on the state/local race you choose will also bring more people to the polls this November

Maybe they're exhausted by the top of the ticket, but they can get pumped about a state candidate because they know you, and you're excited

🧵 3/

Example:

There are 3 state Supreme Court seats on Ohio's ballot this year

Those races may determine whether our state Supreme Court stands up for our rights, or helps to end them.

@Donnelly4Ohio @Stewart4OhioSC @Forbes4Justice Example 2:

We need volunteers to help pass the amendment this November

This amendment would ban ALL politicians (current AND former) from Ohio's redistricting process

No politician should have the power to draw lines that keep them in office foreverCitizensNotPoliticians.org

@Donnelly4Ohio @Stewart4OhioSC @Forbes4Justice Example 3:

The US Senate and US House elections this November have literally never been more important

You don't have to protect the whole country by yourself. You can protect

We started @HowThingsWorkOH after the 2016 election using this principle

Knew we couldn't save America by ourselves, but we could give Ohioans the tools to save Ohio. And look how it's grown.

If everyone picks one thing, builds their piece of the firewall, we got this 🇺🇸
