Which would you rather.. Vote for a person, or vote about how your money is spent? You'll never get to vote about the things that matter..., which is why I don't do politics. I do Solutions. Here's what worked/works for me..

You want change things where you live?

1. Show up at the Town Hall meetings, and talk to folks... grow relationships.
2. Get to know your state representatives, and write to them.
3. Organize
4. Get involved
5. If you see a need fufil it. Launch an initiative... Thriving initiatives tend to get funded over ideas.
6. Focus on offering/implementing solutions... Nobody wants a problem, but folks love a solution!

IOW stop begging white folks to do for us what we have the power to do for ourselves.
