1. **Confirm your current wallet has governance tokens.**

   To take any action in a DAO you must hold some governance tokens issued by the DAO. Ensure the wallet you connect with holds your token or try switching to the correct wallet.<br>

   If you don't hold tokens then [follow the steps outlined in this article.](https://guide.upstreamapp.com/dao-members/contributing-funds)
2. **Review your DAOs proposal threshold.**

   The proposal threshold is the number of tokens a DAO member must hold in order to create a proposal in the DAO. This number can be changed by creating a proposal on Upstream.<br>
