Being A Better Activist

In the past year or so, I have dedicated a fair bit of my time to becoming a better activist. I have always had strong opinions about certain areas of social justice and politics, and I have always tried my best (or what I thought was my best). I would educate myself as much as I could, and speak out when I had the opportunity to do so.

It has been in the last year-ish that I have become more dedicated to actually trying my best. The world is a terrifying place, and it feels like it has become even more so in the last while. I have dedicated even more time to learning as much as I can, but more time as well to educating those around me. Through social media, through conversation, and through sharing articles and books and news, I have done my best to make others know how I feel, and to make others aware of the situation of the world around them.

I attend community events now, I volunteer to help work with children at the library whenever I can, and I fight for what is right even when it's hard. I am continuing to seek ways to support the people in my life, my community, and as far reaching as I can manage.

This post isn't so much about what I have done and not done for others to see and judge, but more of a note to myself. I have come a long way, but I have further to go. This blog if from me to me, as a reminder to never stop trying.

This is for my own personal accountability.
