2) Get involved! We have two weekends left before the elections.
Pick a party or candidate of your choice and volunteer on their campaign. Go to campaign headquarters and volunteer your time and energy. They are in desperate need of help during the last few weeks running up to the election. Volunteer to phone bank or hand out flyers, or whatever tasks they may have. You can volunteer for one or two hours, or whatever time you can spare. Also, campaigns are always need volunteers, poll watchers, and drivers on Election Day.
It‘s important for candidates and parties to see Arab-Americans actively involved in campaigns and elections.
