Join a Local Pro-Democracy Group

Change starts at the local level. Groups like Indivisible help you stay informed, show up, and take action with others in your community. Whether it's rallying for voting rights or holding local officials accountable, your voice matters more when it's joined with others.

• Indivisible Fitchburg MA – get involved locally

Support Independent Journalism

A free press is essential to democracy—and it's under threat. Independent outlets expose corruption, debunk disinformation, and tell the stories the mainstream often misses. Subscribing helps them survive and stay accountable to readers, not corporations or billionaires.

Start with these trusted sources:

• ProPublica – nonprofit newsroom doing deep-dive investigative reporting
• Mother Jones – fearless reporting on justice, politics, and the environment
• The Nation – progressive news and analysis with a focus on social justice
• Rolling Stone – bold political reporting, investigative journalism, and cultural commentary
• WIRED – covers tech, politics, and the future of democracy with clarity and urgency
