Resolving to Take Action
When I woke up on the first day of 2017, going over my own resolutions to change, I realized how important this promise of change had been all year long. Obama was not the only one who ran under the assurance of political change when he took office, Trump did as well. It seems that as a society we're drawn to the promise of change - even at the highest level. But political change isn't a one person or one party job and it doesn't happen overnight. As a nation we can't tune in once every four years, vote 'change' and go home for another four years. We can't dramatically overhaul the entire system every presidential election and expect long lasting and rooted policy. No, democratic political change happens every day, and it starts with all of us.
