“Trump wins the Iowa caucus.”

“Gaza death toll tops 26,000 without a ceasefire.”

Flipping between TV channels, I’m bombarded with political news everywhere I look. From overwhelming support for Trump despite inciting an insurrection to Biden’s inaction amid a genocide in Palestine, I’m left feeling hopeless for the state of our country. 

News like this doesn’t inspire me to get out and vote in my first presidential election this November. It just shows me how unfit both candidates are to serve as president, despite them being the only realistic options.

It’s easy to get discouraged seeking political change for yourself and the communities you care about through elections. But instead of seeking action through elections, it’s far more fulfilling and fruitful to focus our efforts on advocating for change at the grassroots level.
