Act Up, Act Out, Act for Justice!
Tired of the same old faces at every meeting you attend? Beginning to think that there are only 12 of you doing the hard work in your community? Wondering if anyone, anywhere, has a better idea? Well, I don't know - but asking around sure can't hurt and beats those low-down, helpless, isolationist blues! Check out these links - maybe you'll find just the answer you need!
Links are included on: Homelessness, HIV/AIDS, Youth At Risk and Anti-Racism.
I am particularly interested in links related to economics as if people matter, women activists on cancer, restorative justice, and community building. If you know of great links on these subjects, I hope you'll drop me a line and let me know. Thanks!
