Act | The Concord Coalition

Act

When faced with a challenge as complex as the nation's fiscal future, it can be easy to feel helpless and discouraged. But rest assured, there is something YOU can do!

The Concord Coalition is first and foremost a grassroots organization determined to communicate with and empower American citizens to change the direction the country is headed in. There are many opporuntities for you to get involved. To participate, volunteer locally, or bring Concord's message to your local civic group or classroom, contact your field representative.

To act individually, you can start with one or more of the following:

Write a Letter	Make the News	Tell a Friend
It may sound futile, but it really does make a difference. Write your congress person, write your local news station. Get in touch with the people who can make a difference, and it will make a difference to them.	This can be done in many ways, big and small. You can do simple things, like leave comments on news postings on websites. Or you can be more direct, by submitting a letter to the editor. And if you're really ambitious, organize an event around the budget and invite the media to cover it!	This is the easiest, most effective thing you can do, and it is essential to making a difference. Everyone deserves to know whats at stake, so spread the word!
