Advocacy is a "baby-steps" process. It starts by retweeting instead of "liking."

Attend a meeting. Write an email. Make a phone call.

You'll find friends, create community, save democracy and the planet.

Find a local YES ON PROP 50 canvassing event in your neighborhood and talk to your neighbors one-on-one! (It's by far the best way to drum up enthusiasm for the Nov. 4 special election's important Prop 50, PLUS it's fun to get to know your community cohorts!)
