If you want to dive in and help get progressive candidates elected, check out Rochester’s local Democracy for America. A bunch of positive, progressive, can-do folks that are fun to be with. You’ll get to meet and work with some of the Rochester area’s most progressive candidates.
If you’re more interested in movements than individual candidates, MetroJustice is working on several key local issues– for example fighting poverty, spearheading Clean Money Clean Elections, and restoring sanity to the government-private relationship.
Now, for local efforts in movements that are nationwide, find a MoveOn chapter in your area.
And if you’re just getting your feet wet, or just really want to talk about the issues, try our local chapter of Drinking Liberally. A fun, informed bunch that meet weekly to discuss the politics of the day.
There’s other local progressive organizations, but these are the ones we have the most experience with, so we can recommend them reliably.
You can also directly volunteer for specific campaigns by visiting their sites and signing up. It’s up to YOU to make a difference.
Well said.
