Activism

Although spreading awareness and getting educated are incredibly important to the growth of a movement, we need to do more. Knowledge is power, yet we continue to do nothing with the information that we have. To promote change, we need to more than just speak about the issues that have been plaguing us for generation. We need to actually do something about it, but this is easier said than done. So, we have compiled action steps for you to take to get more involved and make an active contribution to a movement. These are small steps, but even the smallest can create change in the long run.
