We know it’s easy to get overwhelmed – to feel like there’s a never-ending to-do list, or to wonder what one person can do. We are 100% guilt-free! We want to welcome people and to mutually support and inspire, but not to overburden. We’re all busy, and we all may gravitate to things we like to do and avoid those we don’t – but we can all do something! And we’ll get to know each other better in the process.
We come together to take meaningful action, not solely to educate and discuss. We’re an energetic bunch! We engage in a range of actions, depending on what candidates need and where our energies and abilities lie, including:
Our actions are in our homes, on Zoom, at local gathering spots, and canvasses usually within a day’s drive of Silver Spring, MD (PA, VA, and, if needed, MD). But we also take longer overnight trips, such as to North Carolina and further.
We are focused solely on elections, and on actions with the greatest chance of moving the needle. Many of us are also involved, elsewhere, in policy advocacy, direct action, and ensuring the safety of the most vulnerable. We’ll publicize those issues, but our actions are focused on elections – on changing who’s in power. If we opt to engage on issues, it is in support of (and generally at the request of) trusted partners, and intended to lead to eventual electoral outcomes, as well as the issue itself.
We want to change the country’s political power framework away from hatred and fear, and towards justice, equity, and compassion. At this time in our country’s history, we must strengthen Democratic representation and disempower the remaining Trumpism that enabled the Trump presidency and weakens our democracy. We work in partnership with local, and sometimes other, groups focused on these same goals.
