Voting is not the Only Tool in Your Civic Arsenal
Keep the Momentum Going!
If the trend continues, it looks like this coming November will have some of the highest voter turnout in American history.
This is a massive testimony to the power of social media and younger people taking ownership of their civic duty to make their voice heard for what they want this country’s future to look like.
I am very excited about all of the opportunities for younger voters, for ease of access to ballots, and what the future holds on both a national and state level.
However, by this point, I think we have all been entirely overrun by reminders to register to vote and of the importance of voting.
While voting is extremely important, and it is a right that we as Americans should not waste, I want to discuss additional avenues of being a good citizen on top of your vote.
Election season is rife with contention and conflict between friends and family because we have a significant turning point ahead of us as a nation.
Still, if we think that our vote is the only tool we have to make a difference, then we are missing out on tons of opportunities to make an impact both locally and globally.
