I am currently attending Creating Change, an annual conference held by the National LGBT Task Force. Creating Change is the largest LGBTQ conference in the country, with 3,000+ activists coming from all over to collaborate, meet each other, learn from each other, love on each other and become stronger together.
It has been great seeing old friends and making new ones. The sessions here are incredible, and my head is filled with ideas of how to be a better activist. My head is also filled with blog post ideas.
Before I start writing about all of those ideas, I wanted to share something that I think is critical in creating change and being an activist.
Do something today.
Just one thing.
Take one action.
Don't get overwhelmed with everything that is going on in the world.
Take a deep breathe and act!
It could be as simple as posting an idea on Facebook.
As simple as donating to an organization that is rocking it for a cause you support.
Or making a call to a political person who represents you.
It could be volunteering, reaching out or reading up on an issue that concerns you.
Just one action.
I'd love to know what you did!
Thanks for reading!
Gay and vegan in the burbs (of Los Angeles). I blog about veganism, equality, compassion, activism, politics, spirituality and the awesome life experiences of The Gay Vegans. The "s" includes my husband, Mike! I believe that we all have more in common than not and that we all have the power to be the voice of the voiceless. I want this blog to be a tool for me to build bridges amongst communities and those with differing opinions.
