There are many ways to participate in democracy. You need to name two: vote, run for office, join a political party, help with a campaign, join a civic group, contact elected officials, or write to a newspaper.
Civic participation is more than just voting. A healthy democracy depends on citizens being engaged — attending town halls, joining community organizations, volunteering, and making their voices heard.
As a new citizen, you'll have opportunities to participate that weren't available to you as a permanent resident, including voting and running for office.
Pick two simple ones: 'Vote and join a political party.'
