These are all things that anyone can do without spending a single penny while creating a tremendous amount of positive change in their local communities. I have relatives that were able to advocate and provide better jobs to hundreds of families through union activism. I have personally pressured local governments to pay for cleanup projects and install sidewalks and open parks. Right now every other day I phone bank convincing likely voters on not just who they should vote for President but why their vote matters and why it's sacred.
What is your lived experience of democracy? Have you attended union meetings? Have you started political groups to advocate for change? Have you ever knocked on doors before and talked to voters about your preferred candidate? Have you driven groups of voters to the polls? Have you attended protests? Have you served on a jury?
Society is shaped by people who show up and if you don't show up you won't have a say.
My entire political theory of democracy is increasing voting rights and civil rights and workers rights. These are the three pillars of change that have been consistently proven to do more good in the world than some ketamine addicted billionaire that thinks they have some sort of divine monetary right derives their thoughts and ideas more valid than your local school teacher.
We've tried feudalism and aristocracy in the past, I don't want to go back to that time. That would betray our ancestors who fought, died, advocated, and taught us why democracy is worth pursuing, dying for, and spreading.
The idea that anyone with money is more worthy than their fellow citizen is a thought that fills me with complete disgust, and I hope it does for you too.
