Potential Activist Resources
Get Started with Activism
Get started with activism and make a difference in your community. Let these potential activist resources be your guide. First, read Jeff’s story. Jeff was on the sidelines until a friend showed him how he could use his skills for good.
"Me? An activist?"
Jeff works for a construction company running fiber cable to support internet service. On a lunch break, Jeff chats with his coworker Rabel. Rabel tells him that he and his wife will be helping out at the Remote Area Medical (RAM) event in their town. RAM provides free health care for people who can’t access it through traditional systems.
“Wow, Rabel, that’s great. How did you get involved in this?”
“My wife’s dentist volunteers there. Since Maya’s activism is improving health care options, she signed up to help. And brought me along,” he chuckles. Glancing at Jeff, he asks, “Do you want to give it a try?”
“I don’t have activism skills. I wouldn’t know what to do.”
“Well, I’ve seen your on-the-job skills, and RAM could certainly use help with providing the right utilities to each of the medical areas.”
Jeff never went to college, but his experience doing freelance cable installation got him into his current company. He had no idea his skills could be used to help support activism. So, Jeff worked with Rabel that weekend. The long lines of people seeking medical care was sobering. The staff’s dedication touched him deeply. And he realized that he could use his skills to support causes important to him.
