Besides complaining on the Internet?
I spend my available volunteer time assisting a local homeless shelter, and I donate roughly 3% of my income on supporting groups that I believe do good. Much less than I’d like, but I believe every bit helps.
Also I complain on the Internet.
That’s nice.
It won’t result in passing new laws, new executive actions, or a better judiciary though.
Your not wrong (well I kinda hope my donations help on those fronts or I’m throwing away money¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ), and focusing on the big political goals is extremely important. But I’ve got my own battles to face and I do what I can with the time I’ve got.
But I fully appreciate folks like you who are at the front lines of these issues! I checked out the mobilize.us site you recommend, and it seems like a good way for folks to get involved if they don’t know where to start. If you don’t mind, I’d like to add it as a recommendation to the text of the meme.
Sure, it’s not my site, you can do whatever you want with it.
That’s nice.
But according to the meme, citizens ain’t boatwrights, they’re bailers. Those things you mentioned would be more fixing the boat than bailing it.
How’s this for fixing the boat.
