Democracy Docket@democracydocket.com

We’re officially 80 days out from the midterm elections, and hindsight has a way of sharpening things. 💬 What’s one thing you’d tell your younger self about protecting democracy? Maybe it’s that voting rights aren’t guaranteed. Or maybe it’s just that showing up counts. We want to hear from you👇
