Power concedes nothing without an organized demand.
Use your Words to call forth progress. vitality. equity. healing. transformation.
Our will and our voices grow stronger with use. Take action by speaking out (“even if your voice shakes”). There are many ways to be heard: letter writing, phone calls, testimony, talking with friends, family and social groups, such as churches, clubs, and teams.
Allyship and leadership also ask us to be good listeners, set aside assumptions, prioritize the voices of the marginalized and those experiencing discrimination.
As history has shown and Audre Lorde said so succinctly: “Your silence will not protect you.”
Being the Change
DEMOCRACY IS MORE THAN JUST VOTING
Monthy Meet-up
Whether as an ally or a member of an oppressed group, bring your voice to the circle.
Justice grows out of recognition of ourselves in each other — that my liberty depends on you being free too.
Why Not Now?
JOIN so we know you are out there. JOIN and together we will “speak truth to power.” JOIN because we truly are stronger together.
Activists and allies are everywhere. If you want examples of how to get engaged, look to communities of color, activists for the diverse groups of people with disabilities, and the young. They are speaking out, acting up, and inviting allies to join them. Let’s turn away from the old rhetoric of division and follow the leaders of tomorrow RIGHT NOW.
There is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it. If only we are brave enough to be it.
Shine Your Light
- Gain connection to others interested in creating a just and sustainable world.
- Express your commitment while being of service to a just cause.
- Develop new skills and acquire valuable experience in activism.
- Make new friends and improve your own confidence and well-being.
In a society that functions optimally, those who can should naturally want to provide for those who can't. That's how it's designed to work. I truly believe we're here to take care of one another.
