After an election, people start to experience what's known as voter fatigue. This is just a fancy way of saying people stop paying attention to politics because they're tired of being inundated with election noise like political ads, news, rallies — you name it. We get it. Staying up-to-date on the news is stressful, especially in today's climate. But even though the election is over, the politicians and laws we voted for are only at the beginning of their journey. Our civic duty starts with voting; it doesn't end there. During the pandemic, so many of us hoped and begged for change — a better country, a better future. And staying engaged is how we keep the people we elected into office accountable for the promises they made to us. So, here's why you shouldn't tune out just yet. This is when all of those people tell us exactly how they'll keep those promises. Not only will we have a new president in 2021, but we'll have a new congress, new governors, and new legislatures. And the beginning of the new year is when they tell us their top priorities and how they plan to acheive their goals. If you don't like what you see or hear, don't worry; we cover how you can make sure the issues you care about are seen and heard in S1E6.
