Your Next Step Matters

Do your research. Find the candidate whose vision matches your values and whose voice speaks for your neighbors. If your chosen Democrat doesn’t make the final ballot, don’t sit out — stand together. Support the nominee.

Don’t let small differences divide us when our democracy itself is on the line. There are no perfect candidates — but there are candidates fighting for a system that protects our human rights and freedoms.

And if you don’t see the right person on the ballot, maybe that person is you. Run for local office. Join your school board. Serve on city council. Speak up at community meetings. Every race, every seat, every voice matters when we’re fighting to rescue our democracy — together.
