50 ways to win the 2020 election in 50 days

Today marks 50 days before the 2020 election and if you don’t like where the country’s headed now is the time to take action and deliver change. We can put a responsible, compassionate leader in the White House [Joe Biden]. But it’s going to take action from all of us beyond just voting. Don’t wake up on Nov 4 feeling like you could have done more.

Here’s an easy to scroll list of 50 things you can do to help secure the win. There’s something for everyone whether you prefer postcards, poll working, project management, or clicking “donate”. Find your jam!
