I want to be able to support the causes I believe in and actually be a part of the change I want to see but I was never taught how to find, join and work with these groups.

I see all the time about protests and community action and people actually going out and helping people who need help and support and I always hated the fact that I only know about it happening after the fact and I want to get involved!

Any help would be much appreciated!

    Please read some stuff on Effective Altruism.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effective_altruism

    Different people have different standards for what that means,

    some hold:

    • policy-change is most-effective
    • grass-roots is most effective
    • low overhead is most-effective

    etc.

    I’d divide resources into

    Kipp.org Teach For America Dalit Network

    because all-3 are working to get the next-generation thinking, and without that, we-the-species is flushed down the sewer:

    our generation deems thinking “optional, and ill-advised”, apparently.
