Learning more about our country's legislative process was part of what made me want to become more politically active. Recently, I was taking a college class on healthcare, and the course's textbook had a chapter on how laws are made and how individuals can influence that process by connecting with lawmakers. I didn't learn much at all about this process in school while growing up, and reading this chapter was eye-opening — and it made me excited to participate more in that process.
Spending a little time to learn more about this process can be an empowering way to start getting involved. Congress.gov has a series of short videos about this exact thing, and is a great place to start.
