Use your Voice! Resources to Engage and Take Action...

One of the definitions that Webster's dictionary uses to describe change is "to make radically different." Now more than ever we need a lot of things to be radically different!  Change is a verb which means it is an action. So I want to pose the question "What are you going to do to help to bring about change?"  We can't continue to turn our back on racism.  We can't sit quietly and expect things to change.

Below are a variety of different resources of ways to engage and take action:
