Talking is not the same as doing.
As good as it may temporarily feel to vent about your political frustrations, talking without doing something to make a difference can ultimately make you feel more helpless. You are anything but! People of all stripes, ages and ideologies can have a voice in the issues they care about. But it requires taking ACTION. Create a plan for how you will make a difference today!
