In these tumultuous times, politics has become an unavoidable topic. Every day, the news is filled with stories about politicians and their policies, and it can be tempting to tune out and focus on other things. However, ignoring politics is no longer an option. With unprecedented crises such as climate change, economic inequality, and racial injustice, the urgent call to action has been sounded for every citizen. As a journalist, I have observed that political decisions impact every facet of our lives, from the air we breathe to the economy we rely on. Therefore, being politically engaged is vital in ensuring a better future for ourselves and future generations. Failing to participate means leaving decisions in the hands of others, potentially resulting in policies that do not represent our best interests. As we move forward, we must heed this call to action and work towards a brighter future for all.
