When taking action, it is important to consider your intentions and the end goal, as they will influence the action that you take.
Those who are looking to influence and make change should consider action that takes a step in that direction, organizing an educational event related to your cause, advocating with elected officials, writing an opinion piece for a local paper, or organize a group of people to advocate together.
Some seek to share their voice about a cause. Standing up and saying what you believe in can often be a powerful symbol for others. Creating art, designing displays, starting a social media account, writing poetry, and more can be meaningful ways to engage in a conversation about your cause. However, with any cause, we do want to eventually move to influence. Take the time to consider what a move from voice to influence would look like.
