We've all been there.
It's hard to look away from the chaos and dysfunction of Washington. You open up social media or turn on cable news to try to keep up, and suddenly hours have passed.
But, there's a difference between staying informed and getting sucked in.
And, we all have a choice to keep doom scrolling or to get up and do something. The best remedy to hopelessness is action. Find something concrete you can do, and make it happen!
That's why I'm running for Governor. I'm not going to sit on the sidelines while Donald Trump and his cronies trample on our rights and run our economy into the ground.
I hope you'll do something, too, by chipping in $5 to help power this campaign.
If you can't chip in right now, or if you've already donated and are looking to take another few steps, consider calling your Congressperson about a bill that's important to you, or volunteer in your community (it can be political or not)—anything concrete that moves the ball forward, even an inch.
Another piece of free advice from me if you're still having trouble motivating yourself off the couch: find something you're already passionate about, and channel that energy into action.
It'll make you feel better to see the difference you've made, and you might just make a few friends along the way. I know I have.
Plus, social media and cable news will still be there when you're winding down from the day you've had.
Onward,
Katie
