It is a free way to help. Well, you do use some text data.

Also, if you have enough to buy some stamps and envelops, a printer and a blue pen, you can join Vote Forward and send some letters to voters. It is a proven way to get some voters to vote.

It personalizes the letter and that way you don't have to hand write a bunch of letters.

It is pretty cool, I do it and it is working really great. I've been pondering my 3 sentences for the last week to make sure it is as powerful as I can make it.

I'm really happy you found some stuff to do!

We are sending out postcards to an important precinct for an Illinois Congressional candidate. The candidate gave us the list.

Also, we are sending out postcards to remind voters to get to the polls in Wisconsin. Ask your local committee about this, or ask one of the grassroots organizations, like Indivisible, if you have one.

These are hand written. The script is provided. We sign only our first name.

This kind of activism works well for us now, because we are high risk for the virus. I do miss knocking on doors, though.

Retweet everything relevant to getting rid of the murderous Republican elite.

Talk to your friends and neighbors and make sure they vote.

Get out on the street if you can do it safely and follow Covid restrictions.

Vote yourself.
