What are TWO ways that Americans can participate in their democracy?

USCIS lists multiple ways Americans participate in democracy. Applicants must name TWO. Acceptable answers include: VOTE; JOIN A POLITICAL PARTY; HELP WITH A CAMPAIGN; JOIN A CIVIC GROUP; JOIN A COMMUNITY GROUP; GIVE AN ELECTED OFFICIAL YOUR OPINION ON AN ISSUE; CALL SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVES; PUBLICLY SUPPORT OR OPPOSE AN ISSUE OR POLICY; RUN FOR OFFICE; WRITE TO A NEWSPAPER. Civic participation is a foundational American value. Democratic government requires informed citizens who engage with the issues, hold leaders accountable, and contribute to community decision-making. Citizens can participate at many levels: local (city council, school board), state (governor, state legislature), and federal (Congress, President). Volunteering and joining civic organizations also strengthens communities. The First Amendment protects most forms of political participation (speech, press, assembly, petition).
