It’s the beginning of 2019...and already the news is swirling with discussion of who’s running for office in 2020. The news cycle is exhausting, but it doesn’t need to govern our relationship with 2020 elections. This is an excellent time to join a group in your area, start advocating for issues that matter to you, and shape what happens in 2020 (and before and after). Joining an in-person group is the single most effective thing you can do to shift our politics.

King fought in his life for racial equality and an end to racial discrimination in all its forms—including economic discrimination. Today, we’re doing our best to commemorate this aspect of his legacy by fighting for economic justice.
