"I'm just one person" "no one in government will listen to me" "nothing I do will have effect" Babe let me introduce you to collective action.
Do what you can, get your loved ones to join you, and trust that countless people you'll never meet are doing the same. Make one call once a week to recite a script and suddenly you're part of a web of advocates stretching farther than you can possibly imagine all working together to pressure our reps like peers in a DARE ad.

Not everyone can attend in-person protests or donate regularly. But if you can access this post, you have the means to call or email your representatives. If you live in a red state it is especially important to voice your support for people in the direct line of fire. Community is our last defense against leaders intent on abusing power.
