People often say that they are too overwhelmed to participate in civic engagement. Many of us care about so many things we end up almost immobilized by it.
For this toolkit’s purpose, we want to help you to narrow your focus to just one area where you can get engaged to make a difference. Don’t worry! Those other causes will still be there waiting for you.
This may take a few minutes, so settle in and let’s get started!
Mobile users, please turn your phone horizontally to take this survey.
It may take the quiz a moment to load. When the button turns orange, it’s ready to go!
What is your political point of view?
