While there is already a thread for charities, activism is not restricted to supporting registered charities, and it is not restricted to huge-scale street protests. It can be about anything that you feel strongly about: human rights, animal rights, protesting government bills or proposed laws, fighting for equality. It can be as little as posting a flyer on your school bulletin board or putting a support banner on your MySpace page, or as big as going vegan and organising peaceful protests. It can take place anywhere. So:
Are there any good causes that you're passionate about?
What do you do to help?
Have you ever staged or taken part in a protest?
Are you part of any volunteer groups?
Personally, I'm thinking of starting up a group at college next year to raise awareness of certain issues, because I think a lot of young people now are just getting too apathetic about the things that still need fighting for.
Please discuss. :cute:
