His name is Jacob Blake. He was unarmed, trying to break up a fight. He was tasered and shot 7 times while trying to get into a car. His kids were watching.

1. Request a mail-in ballot.

2. Do not mail it.

3. Google your supervisor of elections to see where you can drop off your mail-in ballot. It’s usually NOT THE POLLING PLACE.

All states allow this! Here is what you’re accomplishing by doing this:

1. Your ballot gets in on time no matter what happens to the USPS.

2. You don’t have to worry about standing in long lines and risking infection. You’re just stopping by to drop it off.

3. You voted! Hooray! I have no doubt Trump and his supporters are doing to try to call into question the legitimacy of mail-in voting (which is more enthusiastically embraced by Democratic supporters, especially now.)

Also, when you drop it off, find out how to track it online to make sure it is verified. California, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado have systems that can track your ballot just like tracking a package from Amazon.

All CA vote centers (which are open for weeks to a month before election day) have ballot drop-off boxes too! Many government buildings have them as well, so there’s no need to wait until election day when it’s crowded to drop them off. The list of drop-off sites is always posted on each county’s voter info website.

Follow some teaching groups like Red For Ed in Arizona who already are protesting.

Watch cities like Phoenix, LA, Orlando, Miami, and other hot spots in the next couple of weeks.

Donate to your local teacher’s union. Donate to local school PPE funds.

even if you’re not in education, i truly encourage you to protest a full reopen of schools. call and ask them how many of them have pulled their own children but demand the teachers and students show up. as the op mentioned, donate money if/where you can.

children will die — especially those with disabilities. their guardians will die. educators and janitors will die. bus drivers will die. and now teachers are the ones who have to figure out what to do.

the governments know. they expect everyone, including children, to be okay with it when they get sick or are permantly disabled, or when people around them die or are permanently disabled from the government creating what WILL be entirely preventable nationwide superspreader events.

The United States of America has the highest prison population in the world

Black Americans and Latin people make up the majority of this population (many of whom are non-violent offenders)

Federal Prisons in America require that their state keeps their prisons at a maximum occupancy at all times.

If county-A has a population of 50 voters but no prisons, and county-B has a population of 50 voters and 50 prisoners, the county with the prisoners gets more government funding and more political represention. This is sometimes called “prison gerrymandering” and it is used in redistrictring.
