I am very excited for the Social Justice Challenge, starting in January. This challenge highlights a different issue each month and the aim is to learn more about these issues and effect change locally and globally.
I find that when I read a novel or non-fiction piece that centers on a topic related to this challenge, I feel that I need to do something to help solve the problem but am at a loss as to what that something is. I hope that this challenge will give me the motivation I need to speak out for those causes I believe in - as well as to learn more about others - and to advocate for the changes that are so desperately needed.

Thanks Aimee -- I'm still learning my way around the blogosphere but I'm having fun so far....
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of that challenge too! I am trying to not over commit in the new year (I have a lot going on right now) but I think I'm going to follow it and see if there is something I can do along with it.
ReplyDeleteRebecca, what I like about this challenge is that you can vary the participation level month to month, so if you have other obligations in a month you don't have to be as active; and in another month if you have more time (or feel strongly about the issue) you can participate more.
