Feeling Disconnected? Overwhelmed by National Politics?

It’s easy to feel powerless when the headlines are dominated by chaos. But real power starts at home. Local politics affect your daily life in profound ways—from the safety of your streets to the quality of your children’s education.

The truth?

While progressives have focused on national issues, the right wing has built a powerful grassroots machine locally. They’ve shown us the way. It’s time for us to reclaim our local communities.

How We’re Taking Action and How You Can, Too:

We are here to guide, educate, and empower citizens like you to:

• Understand Your Local Government: Learn how city councils, school boards, police departments, and more affect your life.
• Build Connections: Network with like-minded individuals and create support systems to monitor and influence local officials.
• Support Local Leaders: Identify and uplift politicians who fight for progressive policies that matter to you.
• Start Small, Dream Big: Focus on meaningful local victories—one policy, one motion, one step at a time.
  

Here's What's At Stake

When we ignore local politics, we allow others to define our future.

• Local school boards shape the minds of future generations.
• City councils decide what’s built, where, and for whom.
• Sheriffs and judges enforce laws that can uplift or oppress.
• State representatives write laws that impact our everyday lives.

If we stay silent, we give up our voice. If we act, we reclaim our power.
