Just because we didn't see the big picture at first doesn't mean we weren't part of one.  
Sometimes people will ask me, "There is so much happening in the world and in the country, and it all feels so big and overwhelming - what can I even do as one person?" What I try to convey every time is that no action is too small, and if you feel so moved, you can and should start with whatever is within arm's reach or in your backyard. You can even start with yourself. We live in a culture of grand gestures and big ambitions, but that also means we should be wary of how much "get-rich-quick" thinking can perpetuate beyond money schemes and into the idea that any/all major, impactful shifts happen suddenly and in dramatic fashion with a handful of major figures. The fact is, that couldn't be further from the truth. Revolutionary and transformative changes, from the inside out, happen more like mosaics. 
Think of it like this: no matter who we are, how visible or invisible or big or small, each one of us is just one tile. Whether you see that as liberating or disempowering is a matter of perspective. When you have your eye pressed all the way up to the single tile of a mosaic, it can look quite meaningless. A single piece of shattered glass could look worthless. Or perhaps a piece of small painted porcelain could seem beautiful, but too small to "be" anything. Or maybe a stunning rare slab of stone may think itself as the biggest piece when it is really a corner tile. The secret is, it's all significant. The two secrets of mosaics are: - Each piece (us + our small actions) is far more powerful and meaningful than we know, and
- Each piece (we) need each other far more than we realize.
When we are able to step back from thinking our own broken, unfinished pieces are not enough, and start to see how all the other little pieces glistening alongside us start to form eyes and ears and abstract beauty and landscapes and symbols and more, we realize that just because we didn't see the big picture at first doesn't mean we weren't part of one. So just do the small thing - for yourself and others. Choose your actions with humility, love, and enthusiasm. It means more than you know, and the world thanks you for it. Take heart, Alexandria  
  | Hi Jason, — it's Lorenza Ramirez, the DNC's National Organizing Director. I wanted to reach out with a big update on our work to win the midterms this year. I am thrilled to announce that this week we unveiled our 2026 DNC Playbook. This is a comprehensive guide for state parties and campaigns filled with the guidance, resources, and best practices they need to run winning organizing programs this year and into the future. I'll be honest with you: The political landscape has shifted in major ways, and traditional methods of running campaigns are falling more and more behind. Democrats need to continue evolving our approach to organizing if we want a shot at flipping the House and the Senate and winning down-ballot races across the country this year. Here are the three most important things you need to know: 1️⃣ The Playbook is a resource rooted in actionable strategies that we've seen have real success. We've included case studies, research, and community insights so campaigns can study winning strategies and adapt them to their own communities, districts, and states. 2️⃣ We've introduced three critical shifts every organizing program should embrace in order to win, starting with changing how we talk to voters. This includes a new conversation model, metrics, and best practices to have high-quality, listening-first conversations with voters. These shifts are focused on expanding our organizing tactics and prioritizing real conversations with voters over a number on a page. 3️⃣ We're not just looking at the next election — we're looking at building up long-term Democratic infrastructure that will help us win far into the future. CHIP IN $7 TO POWER OUR WORK The DNC is the only organization working to elect Democrats at all levels of government, all over the country, every single year. We're also the best positioned organization to distribute resources like this to campaigns and state parties across the entire Democratic ecosystem. But none of this work is possible without help from grassroots supporters just like you. So Jason, I'm personally asking: Will you donate $7 directly to the DNC right now? Your contribution will go to work immediately to power our organizing across the country, create and distribute resources like the Playbook, and help Democrats win up and down the ballot this year and beyond. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you so much for your support, Lorenza Ramirez

| Jason, Trump signed an executive order yesterday to restrict mail-in voting and give the Department of Homeland Security direct oversight over who can vote. The DNC is filing a new lawsuit to stop him immediately, and you can chip in here to help power our fight to protect mail-in voting. DONATE Jason, the unfortunate truth here is that we have a narrow window to act here, which is why we need your help right now. Your donation will be put to work immediately to help us shape the future of voting rights in America. If you're skeptical about how your donation can do this, please let me explain: Last year, Trump signed an executive order that could have disenfranchised married women who changed their names and members of our armed services. We sued, this grassroots team rallied behind us, and we won in court. Since then, Trump has sought to "take over" state-run elections, he's used the FBI to seize ballots from election offices in Georgia, and he's tried to coerce states into giving him access to their voter rolls. Now, he's taking it to a new level: His new executive order directs the federal government to build a voter list for each state to decide who can and cannot vote — and he's told the Postal Service to refuse to carry ballots for anyone not on its new list of eligible voters. This isn't the time for fear, though, Jason, it's the time for action. I want to tell you directly that the DNC won't let this happen. With the help of grassroots supporters like you, we'll block his order from going into effect. We'll defend your right to vote. We'll protect your right to a free and fair election. And, when November rolls around, we'll make sure Democrats can kick these right-wing authoritarians out of office. I hope you're with me, Jason, and I hope you'll consider chipping in $7 or any amount you can spare right now to help us fight back. If you've stored your info with ActBlue, we'll process your contribution instantly. Thank you, and I'll have more updates to share soon. Andie Andrea Levien
