Here are resources to help you get started in activism. I also call it micro-activism for people who are working full-time, raising a family and just don’t feel like they have the time to get involved. But you can and you must, for the sake of democracy in the United States which affects all of us. With smartphones, it makes it a lot easier. Think of politics as problem-solving, that’s all it is, and it needs our input.
