About the Author: Mary DeMocker
Mary helps people fight creatively and effectively for a vibrant future while deepening connections to one another.
Mary has worked with, been featured in, or quoted by:
Want climate justice? The *most important* thing you can do right now is to get out the vote in swing states.
We can't let polls comfort us when DT has called for his "army" to show up at polling places. The GOP, aware it is losing, is using every trick in the book to suppress votes & tie this election up in courts.
So: Write voters. Make calls. Donate to GOTV groups. Repeat. And hang in there -- people power works.
