outward and upward. When MVP was campaigning, she would often say "we need to be intentional about building community". Start with family, friends, locally, statewide, etc.
Also, if you think about how the gop did it, they ran folks from dog catcher all the way up to POTUS, Dems need to do the same. Like Howard Dean's 50 state strategy, which I think Jamie Harrison tried to do. Additionally, we need to reach out to those who don't vote and/or apathetic about politics. Tell them how politics impacts their lives whether they participate or not, and wouldn't they rather participate than let others decide for them? Democracy will only be as strong as each individuals participation in it -- "we, the people" after all.

Maybe she could make a few phone calls to members of our party that seem to be siding with fascism
