I once ran an unwinnable race because I was tired of no one rebutting the lies. I didn't win but Barak Obama won my state that year.

Thank you for running! It's so important to have people like you out there pushing back against the lies and giving voters a choice. Honestly, it's one of the most patriotic things you can do. It's why I'm so focused on supporting nominees running in the reddest districts in the country.

Such important points that can be applied to so many topics beyond election races - fighting for the environment in the face of limitlessly funded, ruthless, unregulated corporate greed comes to mind. Sometimes it feels sooooo hopeless. But if we do nothing then there actually is no hope.

That's exactly it – hope brings energy with it. There's momentum in a sunrise, and we can capture it every single day. It's hard not to let overwhelm take over, but that's where taking small and regular actions comes into play. Breaking things down into manageable categories, chunks, and action items makes it easier to engage... and fosters the hope that we need!
