16. We did postcards and helped organize signs and car rallies. It was great for people to see us.

Visibility on a grassroots level is important. I'll be honest. At first I did it bc I just couldn't stand to not DO something. Once I got started, I can't tell you how many people were so appreciative to see Biden signs up and us piling together to do car rallies. They told me how much it meant for them to see that they were not the only ones in a sea of red where we live.

I'm glad you were able to help some people to vote. That is very important.
