Feeling frustrated that we have all Democratic elected officials and “they already know what to do”? Guess what – they don’t! In fact, they mostly just hear loud attacks from the MAGA minority, and we need to make sure they hear from us, the actual majority.
Our job as Blue state residents is to push them to protect us (and our neighbors if possible) – even if it prods them out of their comfort zone. The Indivisible Guide Chapter 2: A Quick Primer on Constituent Power explains how and why.
Luckily we have more Blue state trifectas to work with this time around. Ezra Levin, Co-Founder of Indivisible, came to talk to the Indivisible Mass Coalition – our statewide organization. The key take away: When making “an ask” of your elected official, make sure it is SPECIFIC, has a DEADLINE, and is MEASURABLE. We will be pressing our Governor, Legislature, and Attorney General to take action to protect us, and our neighbors from authoritarianism.
