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.

These are small steps, but even the smallest can create change in the long run.
