Volunteer opportunities
10 July 2024
We now have 119 days of freedom until the November 5, 2024 election. To preserve our democracy and avoid a Trump dictatorship, I urge you to volunteer.
Action is the antidote to anxiety. Adopt a race or two; pick an endangered Democratic senator or a vulnerable House Republican and go to work. Organize, make calls, write postcards, knock on doors, give if you can. It won’t make all the scary stuff go away, but it will give you agency and remind you that the future of this country is decided by its people, by us, not just the bad people. Mary L. Trump
