The two things that state and local Dem groups can do.

I know it can all seem so overwhelming with the daily Trump outrage.
But, there are two things that each and every local and state Democratic club or organization should be concerned with.
1. Registering more voters.
2. Fighting GOP voter purges and suppression.

So, if you join a group, please ask them if they do those things.
Most political organizations do the first one either monthly or quarterly.
The second one might require more leg work to find out who fights it and how your group can help.

Wherever the votes can make a difference in a state. Like NYC Dems can adopt Mecklenburg County Dems or Henderson County Dems in North Carolina as they target Thom Tillis and Mark Meadows in 2020. GOTV efforts work and always need funding.

Illinois Dems should help fund GOTV in Wisconsin. Etc.....
