Resources for Activism on-line during covid-19
This is a challenging and uncertain time. Now is when we need community and organizing more than ever. Here are some ways to help out now, while still practicing good and safe social distancing.
There are many ways to take action safely from home! Here are some good ways:
- U.S. Census: Complete your Census forms, to protect funding and support to the states. It is only done once every 10 years, and it only takes about 10 mins. online: https://2020census.gov/en.html
- Go to Vote Forward. Votefwd.org. Here we can download letters to write to voters in multiple districts, asking them to register, confirm their registration, write for write-in ballots, and other very easy actions. All these require is pen and paper, envelopes and stamps, and our dedication.
- Visit SwingLeft.org for ideas. They have multiple ways to get more involved.
