~ Steve Carlson, volunteer leader of UUtheVote at UUC

We are worried about our democracy, and we knew we had to DO SOMETHING!  We couldn’t bear the thought of another four years like the last four. 

So we were relieved to hear about two groups where our efforts could make a difference.

David is working with UU the Vote, writing letters to encourage people in swing states to register and vote.  And Susan is supporting Common Power, which partners with nonprofits in states with close contests for the Senate or Governor. It makes us feel like we’re not powerless or hopeless when there’s so much at stake with this election.  We do a small stack of letters or postcards or phone calls each day and it helps calm us down.  Now we feel like we’re part of something bigger, which can actually move the dial.
