28 DAYS OF ACTION

DAY 9:
Not much action today because I have a sick kid. But I read about this really interesting fundraising campaign that targets state legislatures that could tip left. I decided to donate. 

I’d never contributed to a political campaign before the 2016 presidential campaign – partly because I worked at a newspaper for more than a decade, and ethically couldn’t make donations or even have a yard sign. That took a couple years to shake off.

But even after that, I thought of political donations as something only rich people do. (Which is true & a big part of the problem!) It’s been very satisfying to donate small amounts when I hear about a tight race or a good candidate. And I’m fortunate that I can afford to do so.

Anyway, I also got a new list of addresses from Postcards to Voters. They make it so easy.
