       Look for opportunities like this in your own community to get involved in local politics.Most people don't get involved in local government but the overwhelming majority of day-to-day government services are state/local and not federal.A state budget affects kids' schools, roads and transportation services you use, all public safety, almost all housing, and anything related to land use.Protests are great. Maybe a budget meeting seems less but exciting there’s lots of impact you can make.

       @TonyStark Your state representative/delegate/assemblyperson and your town/city/county council representative represent a few thousand people. Your US House member represents 700k and your Senator could have up to 39M constituents. It's much easier to get to know state and local people. Unless you live in Delaware. Then you probably know Joe Biden.
