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.
"Do all you can, with what you have, in the time you have, in the place you are."--- Nkosi Johnson, age 12, died of AIDS in 2001
