15 July 2022: What can we do to promote democracy?

In addition to volunteering for campaigns, giving money, writing to our representatives and kvetching on social media, what can we, as individuals, do to promote democracy?

This is from Jennifer Rubin at https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/07/15/jennifer-rubin-reader-qa/ (edited lightly to remove partisan references):

Make certain everyone you know is registered to vote and turns out for every election. Volunteer not only on campaigns, but as a poll worker. Attend local school board meetings and city government hearings. Subscribe to local newspapers, which are in financial crisis. Support and give money not just to candidates, but to groups that advocate and litigate for democratic reforms. If your state has ballot initiatives or referendums, support those or even start one that enhances democracy. (A measure for an independent commission to control redistricting appeared on the 2018 ballot in Michigan and passed. One woman kicked off the entire effort with a Facebook post.) And if you are so inclined, run for office yourself. Democracy is hard work, I know. But the alternative is surrendering to authoritarian, reactionary forces that will undermine democracy.
