Run for Something Civics

This Memorial Day, we honor and remember the people who served and sacrificed for their communities and country. Wishing everyone a safe day spent with the people they love.

County commissioners have a LOT more influence over your daily life than most people realize. They can help decide local budgets, roads, housing priorities, and more. Want to learn more about local offices and civic leadership? Visit bit.ly/3X6qqmx

Want to get involved in your community but don’t know where to start? Try canvassing. You knock on doors. You talk to neighbors. You listen. You help people feel connected to what’s happening locally. A strong community is literally built conversation by conversation.

Midterms aren’t “off years.” They decide who’s making choices about schools, housing, public transit, libraries, healthcare, and voting access in your community. Pay attention. Get involved. Maybe even run. 👀 Learn more: bit.ly/3X6qqmx

Policy = the decisions that shape your everyday life. Housing. Schools. Health care. And most of those decisions? They’re made at the local level by people serving on city councils or school boards. Translation: It’s closer to you than you think.

What’s a “resolution” in governing? Think of it as a formal statement that says: 👉 “Here’s what we believe” or 👉 “Here’s what we plan to do” Some are symbolic. Some set direction. Want to get involved? Learn more here: bit.ly/3X6qqmx

Policies decide your rent, your schools, and your access to health care. It’s not abstract. It’s your everyday life. And the people writing them? They’re in local offices. So yeah, you should care. Learn more here 👉bit.ly/3X6qqmx

If climate change stresses you out… same. But here’s the thing: Doing something locally actually matters. Local leadership creates real climate solutions. You don’t have to be perfect. Just willing to start. Get involved: bit.ly/3X6qqmx

Climate change isn’t just a global problem. It’s local. It’s your water, your housing, and your infrastructure. And the people making those decisions? Local leaders. If you care about your community, this is your lane. Learn how to get started: bit.ly/3X6qqmx

Clerks keep the local government running. Elections, records, transparency… all of it. It might not be flashy, but it’s essential. And we need more people who care about their communities moving into roles like this. Learn more here → bit.ly/3X6qqmx

If you’ve ever spoken up for your community, helped a neighbor, or pushed for change… congrats, you’re already a leader. Advocacy is where leadership starts. Running for office is how you take it further. Learn how to get started: bit.ly/3X6qqmx
