Activism can be scary and daunting; it is filled with passionate people who appear to have scores of experience. But that is what makes activism so exciting, as most often people are exhilarated to be able to share their passion and love for their community with others. Everyone has a place to put their words out there, and here are a few tips on how to delve into the world of political activism and volunteering:  Research issues that you are passionate about. Look into collectives or groups that already exist that align with the values or mission you wish to fight for; for example, that could be progressive organizations such as Paving Tomorrow.  - Attend local political events, such as rallies or panels with people who interest or excite you with the work that they are doing.  - Attend local electoral events, such as town hall or city commission meetings, to learn more about issues in your local areas.  - Meet and engage with those of similar interests or activism work to deepen your understanding and connect - Join Paving Tomorrow!

Put your money where your mouth is... I "speak" to many issues on this platform. I have made the decision to speak up and out on things that I know are important... I do so via SM and I also choose to do it in real time, through public speaking. The ability to express yourself in writing and verbally is important, especially if you are a professional. When speaking in public it's essential to prepare for the engagement and be able to speak without a script or notes...(things happen.) As a student at the Marine Corps Command and Staff College I introduced GEN James Mattis, who was there as a quest speaker to address students and staff...do you think I prepared for this engagement?... You bet I was prepared - rehearsed daily - for two months. I didn't need to reference my notes.👊🏼🎯 Passion, temperament, technical acumen, compassion, empathy, forcefulness, reasoning, and presence are but some of the arrows in the orator's quiver. Whether it is at city council meetings (pictured here), planned events or ceremonies, KNOW your audience. Now, where am I going with this?? We are at a critical point in our nation's history, some say a tipping point. It is one thing to "complain" on SM or to complain to your friends, etc... Complaining may relieve frustration, but that is only temporary and serves no greater purpose. I speak up and out on issues and understand most folks don't like or seek out opportunities to speak in public. Yet, there are other ways to get involved in shaping our future...it matters. Volunteering, attending events, rallies and, yes, even protests --> this is America. I urge you to get involved beyond the keyboard, the back bench or sidelines. Getting involved at the local (grassroots) level is a wonderful place to start. Dig deep and do not be afraid. Fear has a way of paralyzing folks and it is being used intentionally to distract, divide, and overwhelm. Pay attention. Know what's important to you. Get involved. And, above all, have faith. 🙏🏼🇺🇸

Global Impact from Local Action: The Power of Influence Many people believe that making a global impact requires vast resources or recognition, but the truth is that meaningful influence often begins locally, right where you are. Small, consistent actions within your community can create ripple effects that eventually lead to broader, global change. We often overlook how small initiatives whether mentoring, organizing a community project, participating in a community outreach or volunteering opportunity, or addressing local issues can have far-reaching consequences. It’s these seemingly minor efforts that form networks of influence, creating momentum that spreads beyond local borders. The most impactful global movements are often born from grassroots efforts and local conversations. In today’s connected world, the line between local and global is increasingly blurred. With the reach of social media and digital platforms, what you do in your community can inspire someone on the other side of the world. The key is to take action where you are, using the resources you have, no matter how small. Global influence is not about the size of the stage you start from; it’s about the significance of the contributions you make. Whether you're working in a small town or a large city, every local action has the potential to drive global change. Global impacts from local roots. How are you making a difference in your local community?
