Take Action
Whether you marched on January 21, or are inspired after watching the film, here’s how to stay involved, and affect change. More details and videos are coming soon!
1. Engage in politics – locally and nationally.
Use your voice! Know your elected officials, and let them hear your opinions. These are your representatives, so be sure to let them know how you feel about issues that you care about.
