Individual Action
Individual civic participation is the primary building block of our democracy, like cells are the primary building blocks of our bodies. Individual actions—like voting and speaking out on issues—may seem small or insignificant, but collectively they drive our policies and our future. And just like an injury or weakness in a few cells can turn into a major health concern. Your fellow Texans crave your active participation in the public square.
