Stand-up comic Paula Poundstone emphasizes the importance of democracy and encourages active participation as the midterm elections approach.

With only 178 days until the general election on November 3rd, she shares daily actions to help safeguard democratic values.

One initiative involves monitoring local government meeting agendas to identify plans for constructing detention centers. Here’s how you can get involved:

• Research if your town is planning a detention facility.
• Attend local government meetings to stay informed.
• Spread the word about any zoning board hearings.

Poundstone highlights the success of community efforts in opposing these facilities and encourages everyone to join in the fight.

Stay engaged and proactive—together, we can make a difference!
