Things to do other than vote
(From a couple of posts signal-boosted by ![[tumblr.com profile]](https://www.tumblr.com/favicon.ico)

Step 1: Make sure you're registered to vote.
Step 2: Solidarity.
- If you need someone who is sharing good news, try Hopium Chronicles.
Step 3: Donate if you can. Early is better than late.
- Help fund the Biden-Harris campaign.
- Support 12 House of Representative seats in swing districts.
- Help the Senate stay blue.
Step 4: Take action.
Things to do if you are not willing to support the Democratic party:
- VoteRiders is a non-profit dedicated to helping people register to vote, which isn't easy in the 50 countries in a trenchcoat that is the USA. There are volunteer opportunities that do not require you to talk to people if that's not something you are comfortable doing.
- Receiving hand-written postcards improves people's chances of voting. This org covers all 50 states, or write to Dems in swing states.
- Vote Forward focuses on Get Out The Vote for people who are unlikely to vote, which is a population that skews left.
If you are down with the fact that the US is a two-party system and willing to help out people who identify as Democrats:
- If you like talking to people, phone bank.
- If you need a job, you can apply to work for the Democratic National Committee.
- Network with Democrats in your state/county/town.
- Volunteer with the Dems on the national level.
- Volunteer with the Biden-Harris campaign.
If none of the things I've listed sound like you, try Mobilize.Us, which has events sorted by physical location.
Step 5: Keep looking for useful things to do and signal-boost them.
