Congresspeople are meant to work for the people. If there is a topic that a person is passionate about, they should take the time to look up their politicians and see how they view that topic.
​
Writing to your congressperson to express concern or offer suggestions is a great way to try and make a change.
​
Similarly, if an organization piques interest, contact leaders within the organization and ask questions.
Advocacy
Advocacy means to show support for something. In action, there are many things that can be done to show support, but most importantly, being out and proud about what you stand for is extremely helpful.
​
A true advocate is not a part-time job. It requires people to actively dismantle injustices when they are presented with them, not just when it is convenient.
​
An advocate should be educated about what they are passionate about. It is okay to not know everything, but actively try to learn and admit ignorance.

INDIVIDUAL ACTIONS
Healing
Healing is an individual experience. Every person has different coping mechanisms that they use in order to feel relief, or process, from the stresses of every day life.
​
These can range from coloring, to listening to music.
​
It is important to find something that can help you relax.
