October 2026: Turn Your Anxiety into Meaningful Action

BACKGROUND: Tuesday, November 3, 2026, is the date for our national, state and local elections. The month of October is your opportunity to help GET OUT THE VOTE! Here are a few suggestions to help turn your worries into effective actions.

ACTION: Reach out to your family, friends, neighbors, and contacts across the country and encourage them to vote for candidates at the national, state and local levels who will work to create peace and protect our environment. Every vote counts!
Sign up to volunteer with local, state and national organizations that are working for these same goals. Here are four effective groups.

CONTACT:  

No Kings: Join a local No Kings demonstration on October  17, 2026, and sign-up to be part of their efforts leading up to the  election.

The Environmental Voter Project: Gives you precise tasks that identify inactive  environmentalists and turn them into consistent voters.

The League of Women Voters: Provides information on local, state and national candidates and their positions on key issues.

Indivisible: Connects you with like-minded others to take action at the local, state and national levels.

Please send a letter-to-the-editor or your local paper on this topic to educate others.
