The Bicentennial was fun. Was America perfect then? Far from it, but there was a real celebration of Freedom and focus on the complex history instead of a concerted effort to kill democracy on the part of one political party.
I am furious that Republicans are using this as one more way to attack the things that are good about this country like Democracy and diversity and social progress.

The reason the funding is drying up is because of tax cuts for the rich, like the Bush Era ones that capped contributions for the wealthy so they only have to pay a fraction of their income everyone else pays.
A really easy start to fixing this would be to repeal all the tax cuts for the rich done in my lifetime starting with the ones under George W. Bush.

If you are in an in-person vote state, research ahead of time so you can vote for the candidate with views closest to your own. If you vote by mail, take the time to look them up when your ballot comes.
THIS is how you move the party further LEFT. PLAN YOUR VOTE!!!

I also suggest looking at things like volunteer work and endorsements, because it really, really helps with things like sheriff and judicial elections, but can be useful in all sorts of primaries when you have multiple good options.
REMEMBER: Don't just vote for the big things like US Congress. Vote in every State and local race down to the smallest and on all the referendums.
