This week:

Tolkien described life (and often, his stories) as a "long defeat", where evil frequently, inevitably wins. But he allowed for "eucatastrophe" - sudden joyous turns, just like breakthroughs in voting rights. We must keep fighting, to hold off the darkness.

Here's What You Can Do:

Donate to protecting voting rights and advocating for democracy with Fair Fight.
Volunteer to bring together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to fix America’s political system with RepresentUS.
Get educated about quick, easy, daily actions you can take to save democracy by subscribing to the Chop Wood, Carry Water newsletter.
Be heard about fair elections and add your name to the End Gerrymandering Pledge.
Run for your state or local office with Run for Something (if you’re under 40, if you’re over 40, donate!)
