Even just calling your local politicians can nudge that needle.
Sooo many people think electoralism is is just casting your vote every 4 years when it's necessary to vote twice a year and stay in contact with your politicians.
I started going to school board meetings recently and have had a few people shocked at me just being a dude with a young child in, the district showing up to see how things run, sure it's boring as hell but I had established a report with one of the members(long story) so him seeing me at the meeting was encouraging to him.
Man, I need to start attending my local school board meetings. My kids'll be starting soon and it would be a good way to get a feel for the direction of things. I was a student senate nerd in college so I have a feeling I'll be weirdly engrossed in the whole thing.
