Organize Events
Organize events for social change
Organizing an event requires substantial work. Plan ahead, and work out the logistics so that everything runs as smoothly as possible. Whom do you need to inform? Do you need permission, a permit? Should you pull in local authorities to support you?
Think about where and when it's safe to take action. Assess your risks, as certain situations may not be safe, and you may need to raise your voice in a different way.
Trying to make change can be exhausting, physically and emotionally taxing, and occasionally dangerous. Talk to adults that you trust and who can support you in making decisions about how to proceed.
Action:
There are many ways that you can gather people together to advocate for change. You can organize a demonstration or protest, do a sit in, a silent protest, a boycott or a walk out.
