With so much going on in the news, it can be challenging to figure out where to start or what to focus on. My advice is to start with the issue that bothers you the most. 

Then, whether your issue is immigration, education, or criminal justice reform, there is an organization that’s been working on that particular issue. Do your research to find the organizations in your community that are doing the work and join them. You do not need to start from scratch. 

Over time, hopefully, you will see that you are starting to make a difference and seeing changes in those areas.
