Thank you, dear Deda, for this important post. I am with JD Ridgley. We must do EVERY SINGLE THING we can do to move people toward our justice-seeking. I already have my information/packet from Votefwd.org.

Yes, we all must find what we can do and do it before it is too late.

The most American, patriotic thing we can do is to encourage people to exercise their vote. Go to Votefwd.org and read about their program of letter writing to encourage people to vote.

Right now they have addresses you can write to in seven states - INCLUDING NORTH CAROLINA. Your choice. Sign up on the website and follow their instructions for writing letters and having them ready to send by October of this year. Like the 2022 campaign , we will hang onto all of these letters and mail all of them at once. It’s a great way to help with the 2024 election!

JD, thank you for mentioning Vote Forward's guidance for letter writing in support of democracy, which I wasn't aware of. And locally we have a strong Democratic volunteer postcard team. Personally contacting voters is so valuable! Thank you again.
