If you’re a US citizen, no matter where in the world, start by [making sure you’re registered to vote](https://iwillvote.com/). Many districts are gerrymandered, so you’ll want to register as the party that’s likely to win congressional and/or state legislative districts where you live, and vote in that party’s primary.
In addition to voting, you’ll want to influence politics beyond that. Your local races are a good place to start; cities and states control local land use and things like building codes.
To affect Congress, you’ll want to pick [swing house districts](https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/house-race-ratings) or [swing senate seats](https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/senate-race-ratings). [Volunteer for a Democrat](https://www.mobilize.us/) and [donate](https://secure.actblue.com/) accordingly.
For President, the reality is that [Biden has done far more than Trump would even consider](https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2021/climate-environment/biden-climate-environment-actions/), starting with the [Inflation Reduction Act](https://repeatproject.org/docs/REPEAT_IRA_Prelminary_Report_2022-09-21.pdf#page=7), and continuing through numerous executive actions. Getting involved in this race means [volunteering](https://www.mobilize.us/?q=biden), and if you can, [donating to the Biden Victory Fund](https://secure.joebiden.com/a/BVF?attr=113172809). If you’re giving really large amounts of money, and the logistics of it work, go to an in-person event and talk to the candidate or other official about climate:
