Thanks for the questions! Most of the participants have left but I've forwarded your post to them asking for their replies. I'll update this as I receive them.

From Lisa Graves (Center for Media and Democracy): Thank you for your question. You may be able to volunteer with one of the groups organizing on the ground to help spread the word in your community. You can also talk with your friends about what a democracy is and is not.

Yes! It will take hard work and real citizen organizing, but the fight to get big money out of politics is critical to protecting our democracy.
