The line ups for early #voting up here and across the country, are spectacular. Never seen so many turn out so early.
Normal person leaving the election polling station: looking relieved that it's over and contemplating on getting home and figuring out what to do next.
Me leaving the polling station: Staggering out and squinting while looking around as if I hadn't seen the sun in three weeks and proceeding to ask some random person near the back of the line if it was still the year 2025.

By Leonie Thorne
Many young people have written to the ABC with a similar story: they feel like they did everything "right" but will never achieve what previous generations did. It's a story that defined the past week in politics.

ABC NewsWorking on election day? Here's when early voting opens
By Dannielle Maguire
The federal election is less than a month away. But if you can't make it to the voting booths on election day, there are other ways to have your say.
I'm worried that information like this (that I depend on for patron questions) https://www.usich.gov/guidance-reports-data/federal-guidance-resources/step-step-voting-guide-people-experiencing will disappear under the Drumpf regime. #voting #voters #registration #USpolitics #unhoused #homeless

#Voting is the beginning, not the end.
Another way to frame it is: #Vote *and*...
What comes after the *and* depends on your circumstances. Here are some things, and this is a partial list. Before you do anything, evaluate where you're at and what you can reasonably expect yourself to do. It's not *all* on you or anyone else, so don't over-commit.
- Most people can make some choices about consumption. What you purchase and from where you purchase it. If you are struggling to make ends meet, this may be all you can do.
- Some people have time and good phone plans. If that's you, you can also call your #senators and your #congress critter (gender-neutral term).
- Some people have time and mobility. If that's you, you can show up. This can mean protesting, volunteering, etc.
- Some people have money. If that's you, you can support independent journalists, or #candidates running against #fascism, legal funds, community organizations, etc.
- Some people have skills, and time or money. If that's you, you can run for office, volunteer in your community, or get together with community members to address an unmet community need.
