How can I get involved? It's purty simple. Just do something. Attend some meetings, volunteer. You can be the social change that you want to be.

Find out the differences between a social activist and a politician and the inter-relation of the two concepts.

Looking for some other activities that you can get involved in? It is a three step process to get involved: figure out what you care about, find people with similiar interests, and then attend meetings and contribute. Sounds simple, but few people take these three steps. Let's investigate them further.

First off, think about what you care about. Do you want to get more ATV trails built? Hate what our President is doing to our country? Need better government in your community? Don't want to have the city dumping garbage in your backyard? Hate suburban sprawl? You have the power. Activist Resource lists many groups you can get involved in.

Second, read the local papers and search the web for opporunities to get involved. There are groups that fight all those battles and so much more. To the right is about two weeks of events from ActivistResource.org.

Don't stop there. That list is far from exclusive, and many groups do not yet have an internet presence. Sometimes you have to dig. Most important is to actually attend meetings and contribute (your time, resources, money). That sounds easy, but is the second most difficult part of activism after finding a group to join. We need your help to change politics, now more then ever!

And remember it's a journey.
