As things are more likely to fall back to the states and local government, make sure yours is willing to fight for their rights. Don’t give in to despair. Grieving is natural, but don’t let it consume you completely. When you build back up that energy, put your fury into change
Power tends to flow upwards in the party over time. The local leaders tend to be flow into higher and higher office, so lets make the party’s pool of people as progressive as we can
Some helpful links:
Run for Something, a group that supports progressives running for any downballot positions. They’ve helped elect around a thousand progressive into office
There are more than a few “how to run” programs you can work with. Zoom meetings, Q&A, etc.
