The Homefront Battle for Democracy: Why You Should Run for Local Office

 Well, friends, the war is here again. The battleground may not be foreign soil—it’s your town hall, your school board, your state legislature. While national leaders spar over foreign policy and battle billionaires in Washington, our job is to hold the line at home. Because fascism doesn’t just march in with tanks—it sneaks in through zoning laws, school board elections, and voter suppression bills.

If you’re ready to fight for your community, the best thing you can do is run for local office. You don’t need a political science degree. You don’t need deep pockets. You don’t even need to align with a political party. You just need a backbone, a good pair of shoes, and a willingness to knock on doors.
