a group preferable whose focus suits her better, but she won't find one capable of making a fraction of the difference the Democratic Party does. And the ability of all the others to effect good change depends on the success of the Democratic Party.
My contributions of volunteer hours have varied widely over the years, never outstanding, but I've always known if I made myself valuable to my local organization doors would open to more and more valuable, and exciting, ways of contributing. We're needed.
Many come initially with mostly just time and a desire to make a difference, some can offer or develop organizational ability, some office or computer systems skills, some strong backs, and many professionals with valuable expertise in their fields.
For instance, people in fields related to global warming, sustainable energy, disappearing fresh water, food production, etc., donate their expertise to the party. Some of them eventually decide to run for office themselves -- and win -- and are now continuing their efforts from within the halls of power.
Of course we have gosh only knows how many lawyers right now -- thousands -- working on the election in every state and territory.
Most of the millions working for the Democratic Party are volunteers at the local level. Every office I've ever been in had great people it was a pleasure and honor to work with. And it's not just very fulfilling to fight in a real way to turn our ideals into progress but also fun to be "inside" and know a lot more about how it works and what's going on.
