Holding Representatives Accountable
A healthy democracy depends upon an engaged citizenry. One obvious way for citizens to make their voices heard is via elections. To make our voices truly matter, though, we need to do more than this. At a minimum, we need to make sure that our elected representatives are actively attending to our ongoing concerns and expectations. One thing that can help with this is regularly providing feedback to them via calls and letters. In more extreme cases, where we don’t seem to be getting through to them, we may need to engage in mass public protests to make it clear that we will not be ignored. Our team is committed to helping citizens to participate in our democracy as actively as necessary.
Impacting Our Representatives in 2027
No matter what the results of the midterm elections are, we need to do a better job of holding our elected representatives in 2027 accountable to the interests and expressed wishes of their constituents. At present, we have two pending initiatives aimed at this objective:
Building a closer relationship with our congressional representative in CA-19.
Developing an extended phone tree of people who will help amplify the messages we want to deliver.
