Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Let's DO things for 54 days

Hi All,

After reading, watching and listening to all the things, including last night’s debate, the choice truly cannot be more clear to me. Kamala Harris must win in November. And because Trump has convinced half the people in our country that the outrageous things he says are the truth, Kamala has to win by a landslide because he will do all he can (and he can do a lot) to interfere in this election before, during and after November 5th.

In her brilliant endorsement last night, Taylor Swift said “As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country.”

I do this too. But it is time to do more.

I have always been more energized by the reading, watching, listening, posting and talking part of politics. To be completely honest, I find the rest of it boring and/or intimidating. I don’t love writing postcards. I am nervous to go door to door. I’m iffy on phone calls.

But this morning, I am channeling the feeling I had the day after the election in 2016. That morning I was scared and I was mad at myself. I had read, watched, listened, posted and talked but I had not taken very much action at all to ensure Hilary’s victory.

It has to be different this time.

Today I am going to get out of my comfort zone to DO SOMETHING.

And to ask you all to DO SOMETHING.

Here’s what I have done so far:

• I reached out to a friend who went to a postcard writing event last week to see when the next one would be.

• I followed a local FB group that organizes events.

• I went to Kamala’s website to put virtual phone banking events in my calendar.

• I donated.

Your turn!

Please share your thoughts and your plans for what actions we can all take in the next 54 days.

xo,

Stacey
