You’re an American living abroad, but you want to have a voice in choosing who represents you, so what do you do?
For Candice Kerestan, an American living in Germany, the question of how to work towards a more equitable and just American system was made more urgent by her experience living in the German system, where issues like education, healthcare, and combating climate change were being prioritized. So, she got involved at the ground level with her local chapter of Democrats Abroad, and now helps other Americans abroad work to elect their preferred candidates and ensure their vote is counted.
