Did you know there’s a whole spectrum of stuff in between “spend all weekend cleaning your house” and “don’t do anything at all because it’s so overwhelming”? Wipe down one counter. Put away half a load of laundry. Vacuum one room. You can do a little bit, and it helps! And then you can stop!

Yeah if someone encourages you to call committee chairs because they "represent all of us," one of two things is true: 1. They don't know what they're talking about and you should discard their advice, or 2. They know this isn't true but lying about it is how they farm contact info for fundraising.
