Whelp, that's not how I expected my evening to go but I am glad it went down the way it did.
I got in touch with a friend in the Green Party to ask what needs to be done to get them officially recognized by the state of Nebraska. (They already are qualified to have their write-ins counted but their candidates aren't actually listed on the ballot)
Anyway, turns out tonight he was going to be circulating a petition for that, downtown, so I met up with him to sign it.
Next thing you know, I had the urge to help him get signatures so I just spent 3 hours wandering downtown with him hitting people up for signatures.
I hadn't really done anything like that since leaving Colorado and it felt GOOD! I had a good time AND I felt like I was really putting in the work for change. I kind of needed both.
My time for this sort of thing is limited but I am going to try to do it at least twice a month. We have until July 15, 2024 to get the needed signatures so I have a feeling it can be done, and I want to be part of it.
As a bonus, I had already met my steps goals for the night so the unexpected 3 hour walk really put me way over the top.
