What actions should we take?

[trenton]

I hesitate to write this because I once made the mistake of crusading and now I'm leery.

I first want to compliment this forum because I learned about so many different things.  I learned about gun control, factory farming, modern slavery, abuse of power, and much much more.  I want to know what all of this powerful education would look like if it were put into motion to resolve the issues discussed in an individual and collective level.  What are the people in this forum doing to solve the problems?  When I tried to figure that out, I ended up getting everything backwards.

I think a realistic goal is anti-corruption.  Many States are calling for a constitutional convention to impose term limits, balance the budget, and to stop the abuse of campaign funds.  These amendments, especially the term limits are very popular across the entire political spectrum.  In fact some people voted for Trump because he ran on term limits.  It means that there is broad support for anti-corruption and if it were put to use, it would cause a constitutional convention.  I also think that anti-corruption is the only approach for those who are serious about achieving bipartisanship.

Are there other realistic goals?  If so how should they be accomplished?

What causes should be donated to and what information should be spread on social media?  (My family was against me donating to Wolf PAC when I tried. It could mean I would have to get away from them first in order to take action.)

which petitions should be signed?  (I signed a couple of petitions already like anti-corruption and anti-slavery.)

Which public officials should be contacted and what should they be told?  When is the best time to contact an official?  (COVID is still preventing any meaningful contact with the government.)

 This is the most important lesson for me to learn if I ever hope to get conscious politics right without turning into a false life purpose.  These are the questions I am most afraid to ask because of my past mistakes, but I will be brave.

Any response will be greatly appreciated.
