Description:

This week:

We're running an updated version of a popular essay from last year.

Tolkien described life (and often, his stories) as a "long defeat", where evil frequently, inevitably wins.

But he allowed for "eucatastrophe" — sudden joyous turns (just like breakthroughs in elections and voting rights).

We must keep fighting, to hold off the darkness.

Here's What You Can Do:

  • Donate to protecting voting rights and advocating for democracy with Fair Fight.
  • Volunteer to bring together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to fix America’s political system with RepresentUS.
  • Get educated about quick, easy, daily actions you can take to save democracy by subscribing to the Chop Wood, Carry Water newsletter.
  • Be heard about fair elections and add your name to the End Gerrymandering Pledge.
  • Run for your state or local office with Run for Something (if you’re under 40, if you’re over 40, donate!)
