Take Action

Every action matters. Pick one thing and do it this week — then add another.

It’s important that you do something… but what? Here are many ways to resist and organize — some you can do solo, others with a few people, and some with a crowd. Find what fits and start today.

Get Out the Vote

The Democratic Club of St. Johns County is taking weekly action between now and the election to reach voters directly — and they need your help to make it happen.

They are writing postcards, making phone calls, canvassing, holding town halls so people can
meet the candidates. They need our help to make all this happen!
