A rally will not change things on its own. We must each do something to keep fighting for change.
Don’t give up. Find what brings you joy. Keep going.
Pick a few issues to follow. Read or listen to experts. Then, have conversations with the less informed in your life. Without judgment or shaming, ask friends & family what they think and listen to their concerns. Debunk the misinformation. Keep trying.
Get involved and advocate for our community. Volunteer for the PTA. Join an Earth Day clean-up. Start a food pantry at church. Talk about how the Republican cuts to services and funding affect the community you care about.
Contact your representatives about your concerns, not just in Washington but state and local, too.
Vote in every election. Pennsylvania has important judicial and local elections, including school boards this year. Make a plan to vote on May 20th and November 4th.
