What do you do to get involved? |
|
I contacted the leader of my local chapter of the Progressive Democrats of America a couple of weeks ago to see if there was anything I could do. She said she would keep me in the loop, but I haven't heard from her since. Like a lot of you I am interested in making a change in the Democratic party. I write my congressmen on occasion, I vote, and I make campaign contributions, but beyond that there is not much that I do as far as actually being involved and currently nothing as far as making a change goes.
One thing that hampers me is my work schedule. I work 3rd shift and I have to keep the same sleeping schedule on the weekend or else I will end up totally screwed up on Monday. Not a good thing when you have to drive for a living. I do have a few free hours during the day between 10am and noon through the week and a little more than that on the weekend. Is there any kind of volunteerism that I could be involved with during the night on the weekends?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Good for you, for your desire to be active politically!
Unfortunately, I have no suggestions.......
Unless...
Maybe check your local phone listings for the Democratic Party...
Call them if you find anything......
Or use the Internet to find a local office...
That's where I'd start for inspiration.....

there are some Democrats that I do not want to be associated with. I know that sounds bad, but the progressives are the only wing of the party that I see as really wanting to take the party in a new, positive direction.

2. maybe homeless shelters |

churches sometimes alternate nights of taking in homeless people and they sometimes need helpers...I don't know which groups do it though.

and I do live close to a major metropolitan area that has a population of homeless people. I'll have to check into that.
