If you’re feeling powerless right now
I urge you to get involved with your community and local level politics.
Organize a neighborhood association, find out who your city councilpersons are and what they believe in, go to a city council meeting and learn how to become involved, join a committee, learn more about what’s happening in your city and advocate for causes you believe in.
Engage locally. You definitely have the power to influence outcomes and make impact.
