🌎 The Long Defeat
This week:
Tolkien described life (and often, his stories) as a "long defeat", where evil frequently, inevitably wins. But he allowed for "eucatastrophe" - sudden joyous turns, just like breakthroughs in voting rights. We must keep fighting, to hold off the darkness.
Here's What You Can Do:
- Donate to protecting voting rights and advocating for democracy with Fair Fight.
- Volunteer to bring together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to fix America’s political system with RepresentUS.
- Get educated about quick, easy, daily actions you can take to save democracy by subscribing to the Chop Wood, Carry Water newsletter.
- Be heard about fair elections and add your name to the End Gerrymandering Pledge.
- Run for your state or local office with Run for Something (if you’re under 40, if you’re over 40, donate!)
