What you can do to get involved

 

  Get informed about an issue. Any issue. It doesn't have to be The Issue of the Month.

     It only has to be something about which you are (or can become) passionate.

     

  Visit our list of websites and see what interests you. If you don't find anything there

      follow the links, use them to feed your own thinking.

 

   Read the newspaper, either the print version or on-line. Don't just read the local

      paper, also read papers from other cities or other states. Read international papers;

      not the columns in the local paper covering international news, actually read a

      newspaper that was produced in another country. You can find them on-line as well.

 

  Find out what social justice initiatives are going on in your area. Read the bulletin

      boards in coffee shops, supermarkets, places of worship, or campus residence halls.

     Check out the classified ads in your local newspaper. Use your favorite search engine

     and ask, Who's working on (insert issue) in (insert town or country)?

 

  Become a Social Action Project Team Member.

 

  Launch your own initiative.

 

  Continue to do whatever you can. Don't convince yourself (nor allow others to convince

      you) that whatever you can do is too little to matter. Silence and obscurity are the

      truest enemies of social justice.
