One day a year we exercise our democratic right to vote for our elected leaders at various levels. But just casting your ballot isn’t enough — these officials represent us all year and we need to hold them accountable for actions they take once they are voted into office. That’s where you come in: Today LSP launched the Local Democracy Challenge...if you are on our mailing list, you should be getting one of these cards in the mail. LSP challenges you to take up to six actions from now through November 26 that will strengthen democracy in your community, plus offer you a chance to win prizes! We'll be sharing stories of how others are doing their part and would love to hear your #LocalDemocracyChallenge stories too. Learn more and sign up to get a card sent to you here: (fb)
