If you're a progressive and live in an American state where you vote for prosecutors and judges, try to vote for people who are former public defenders since they usually will be more understanding to people swept up in the justice system.
Don't forget to vote also! You throw away your power when you stay home. The only message you send by staying home is that you're naive.
@mattsheffield I do this and encourage the same - but I really wish there were some way to learn more about these candidates than their previous job titles. Especially incumbents. Do they always find against POC? Do they support businesses over customers? With the rampant prejudice filling our politics, what are *their* biases?
@mattsheffield And if you're electing people to the school board, vote for candidates who were teachers.
