Vicki Gonzalez and I talked grassroots power on CapRadio's Insight (NPR Network): civic duty, an activist toolkit, pacing your organizing across the 2-year election cycle, and better volunteer mobilization. My book We Are the Power is out now. www.capradio.org/news/insight...
My whole life I’ve believed in this precious democracy. 250 years, and I know what people suffered under monarchies before it. Voting isn’t enough anymore. Turn anger into action: doors, calls, poll work, one honest conversation. It’s up to us.
There is no cavalry coming to save us, we are the cavalry. Turn your fear into action and commit an hour a week before the midterms, whether that hour goes toward getting the vote out or protecting our immigrant neighbors. We have the power. What will your hour be? #Midterms2026 #GOTV
The mid-term election is going to be contested. If you’re a lawyer or a paralegal, we need you protecting the vote. Even if that’s not your field, take election day off and show up to help out. It matters for the health of our midterms. Full podcast episode here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
We understand what needs to be done and will do it! Join us in saving democracy this November. We are the cavalry. By liking and reposting this, you are committing to vote, donate, volunteer, show up and be the power to win the future! Want to know how? Get We Are the Power on Amazon now.
90 million people didn’t vote in 2024, more than voted for either presidential candidate. 24 House races were decided by under 6,000 votes. Turning out occasional voters this November matters. Join an Indivisible group and help knock doors, call, or write postcards to turn out the vote this November

Throwing it back to 2024, when I was in Tucson, AZ, knocking on doors. That’s me with former California AG, former U.S. Secretary of HHS, and California gubernatorial candidate, Xavier Becerra. #tbt #campaigndoorknocking #voteblue #xavierbecerra #garylucks #wearethepowe
💬 Too many people are waiting for someone else to save democracy. Gary Lucks makes the compelling case – backed by data and decades of experience – that we are the cavalry we've been waiting for. We Are the Power is an indispensable resource for every citizen who refuses to sit on the sidelines."
Over the weekend, just days before my new book was released, I enjoyed meeting and getting to know @NCDP.org Chair @abreezeclayton.bsky.social. She is an impressive and effective catalyst for democracy.

To survive this unprecedented assault on our democracy, those who have sworn an oath to the Constitution must honor it. They must uphold the rule of law and reject illegal orders or martial law. #GrassrootsPower #YouAreNotAloneBook #GaryLucks
