I have written many blog posts encouraging our readers and supporters to get active, to take action in making the world a better place for all living beings.
We can't wait.
There is a lot going on in our local community. Our local school board has a majority of folks who seem to not want to invest in our schools and look to be part of a seemingly national movement to privatize public schools.
We have an anti-gay and in my opinion anti-poor and anti-woman guy running for US Senate against a guy who has been incredibly supportive of the LGBTQ communities and whom I truly believe understands poverty. I will be voting for Mark Udall in November.
Hundreds of pit bulls continue to be killed in the city of Denver (one city east of us) each year without little public outrage.
These are just three of the issues I am passionate about in my community.
What are your three? And what can you and your friends do about it? Right now.
As you might have guessed, especially if you have read past posts, I am going to ask that you register to vote, that you vote, and that you personally make a connection with those who represent you on city council, in the state house, and at the US Capitol.
If you don't have children, that is not a free pass to not care about your local school board. Want to look at extremism in America, check out your school board.
Taking action can mean voting. It can mean writing a letter to the editor. It can mean deciding to go vegan. It can mean calling your state representative and giving them a piece of your mind.
It means saying enough is enough.
Nothing will ever change if good people don't demand it.
Believe me, those who profit from animal cruelty are taking action. Those who want to deny marriage equality are taking action. Those who don't give a shit about the poor and those living in poverty are taking action.
They are counting on us not not to do so.
No way.
Join us. Take action. We have the power.
Thanks for reading.
First time I've read your post. I enjoyed it and agree with you that it is our responsibility to speak out for the voiceless (my passion) and everything that affects our lives directly or indirectly. This is our world!! I am passionate and fight daily for Orca's, Elephants in every capacity and dogs in particular....and of course LGBT issues as my daughter is a beautiful lesbian woman who has been in a relationship with the same woman for 8 years. AND the overwhelming student loan debt our children face. Sorry didn't mean to get off the subject. Just wanted to say I appreciate your views. Look forward to reading more.
