It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.
Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.
Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

The processing fee for a passport is $130 but there can be other costs and you have to get documents establishing your citizenship like a birth certificate and a photograph. This is the new pull tax if the SAVE act passes.
Have you heard about the SAVE Act? It's the newest effort at voter suppression by the House GOP & it's important for all of us. If you're a married woman or someone who doesn't have their birth certificate/passport handy, you're especially going to want to see this. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Sometimes self-government just means elections. And sometimes it means recognizing the deeper dignity and meaning of what it means to be a people. That means speaking up, standing out, and protesting. We can only be free together.
