I googled the name from the bottom and read some about them. They encourage peaceful nonviolent resistance, voting, volunteering as an Election Officer, knowledge of firearms, physical training, and basic first aid knowledge.
I had never even considered volunteering for an election, which I would love to do. I submitted an application with my local Board of Elections to volunteer as an Election Officer. If anyone else is up for it, I encourage you to volunteer too!
Also, register to vote if you haven’t already. Your state might also be allowing requesting absentee ballots so you can vote early. The DNC probably isn’t holding a primary in your state, but if you register as unaffiliated you can pick a different party to vote for in the primaries. This is a way to express your support for candidates you’d prefer to be elected, even if they aren’t from a party you’d typically vote for. This might vary from state to state, so check out your state’s BOE website.
I’ve volunteered for election work before. It’s actually quite easy in terms of labor required (triggered my social anxiety something fierce, but so does any ‘front desk’ work), and it’s nice to know you’re doing your civic duty. In my area, they’re always in need of more volunteers. We also got paid.
My wife is a Precinct Committee Person and one of the things we do is monitor ballot drop boxes to make sure nobody is engaging in intimidation. I say “we” because there’s no way I’m letting her go out there on her own…
For those who only see bayonets:

The imagery is pretty inspired…

Hmm, but the Social Democratic Party of Germany lost to the Nazis in 1932… 🤔
