I think it's important to be active in your community. Know your local representatives and legislators. Talk to them when you have concerns.
That's been my strategy for getting involved with political advocacy. Even though I'd love to see education reform on a national level, I think it's best to start small. Develop a successful system in a city or a state, and then use that to show the rest of the country how they might better address the problems we all face.

The word 'government' nowadays makes us shudder with disdain. But, on the bright side....HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Thank you so much for making this video! Especially as someone that wants to take the next step and at the minimum be aware of local officials and new proposals. And love the youth vibe, it makes it more relatable! New sub! 💜

I want to get involved into the government, because there's too many anti trans stuff.
I'm just trying to live my life, and it affects more than just me.
I want to help my community, as well as the general public, of course.

Thank you for this video. Have a Wonderful and Blessed day. As we can all see wickedness has become rampant in this world. The Bible God's holy world told us about the last days and we are in them.
We are living in the last days according to the word of God we read it in 2 Timothy:
2Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
2Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
2Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
2Timothy 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
We see things that were once considered evil and wrong are now right and applauded. Things that were right and true are now considered wrong, evil, and wicked.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
The Lord died on the cross at Calvary for all shades of people. He also rose from the dead.
One day he's coming back what a Glorious day that will be.
Please call upon Jesus today fOR salvation WE MUST BE BORN-AGAIN.
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
