There’s no doubt that President Trump and his allies hold the major levers of political power in the United States – they’ve got the Presidency, House, Senate, and the Supreme Court. Getting them out of office and getting the country back on a sensible track will take a concerted and organized effort by all of us.
Political volunteering is a good way to do your part. You might start by perusing these links to find an opportunity that works well for you…
- Naturally the Democratic National Committee has plenty of work to be done and you can visit the link to let them know that you’re ready to jump in!
- Mobilize.us is a website that a number of progressive organizations use to organize their events and this webpage will show you which of those events are near you.
- Indivisible started as a response to President Trump’s first election and organizes itself in small groups that take local action for democracy and against the Trumpian agenda. Visit the link and click “Join The Movement” or “Take Action” to see what you can do. Don’t forget to also check out their Indivisible Guide!
- And if you specifically don’t like Elon Musk (and who does by now?), check out Tesla Takedown which is a group of people looking to stop him by attacking the foundation of his wealth – Tesla (we have a bit more about this on our “Boycotts Against Elon Musk” page – INSERT LINK)
- Swing Left is an organization focused on winning elections and their strategy emphasizes the fact that winning elections is year-round work rather than just work put in during “election season”. Currently, they’re focusing on flipping the House in 2026 – something well within our reach as only three seats need to change from red to blue to pull this off!
In addition, the Trump Administration’s actions are hitting our most vulnerable fellow citizens hard and they will need your help to get through the rest of his term. You might also consider volunteering at these non-political organizations that will be out there trying to mitigate the damage that he is doing,
- Feeding American (formerly known as America’s Second Harvest) is one of the nation’s largest food bank organizations that provides food to more than 46 million Americans. As President Trump’s actions tank the economy further and further, the organization can expect to be under more and more strain and could certainly use your help!
- Habitat For Humanity has long worked to build new housing for people suffering from poverty. With more and more of our people expected to end up in poverty as a result of the developing Trump Slump, Habitat For Humanity can also use all of the help it can get!
There’s plenty more in the way of political and non-political volunteer opportunities out there and we’ll add them to this page as we learn of them! Your friend Google will also lead you to many more places than we can list here. Thank you for volunteering your time and helping to turn American around again!
