Taking Action: How You Can Make a Difference

By: Deborah Dietz

Feeling Overwhelmed?

Every day, we’re flooded with news, updates, and changes happening in our communities and across the country. It can feel overwhelming. You might even wonder if one person can really make a difference. The answer is absolutely yes! Your involvement matters.

If you’re happy with what your elected officials are doing, take a moment to let them know. Positive feedback encourages them to continue their good work. On the other hand, if you’re unhappy with their decisions or actions, let them know. Sharing your opinions and concerns can influence their perspective, especially before important votes.

In our newsletter, we’ll provide practical tips, ideas, and resources to help you get involved and effectively communicate your thoughts and priorities to your elected officials. Together, we can create meaningful change.

We are going to go over four things that you can do to make a difference.
