Taking Action
Take Action
Start addressing a real-world issue that you care about.
Introduction
Take action on a real-world issue that you are interested in. The issue can be local (e.g., related to your city, school, neighborhood, or community) or nonlocal (e.g., a regional, state, national, or international issue). Your chosen issue need not be particularly “political.” For example, your project may focus on an issue that is more humanitarian, environmental, philosophical, economic, or personal in nature.

Suggested Actions
Write a letter to a decision-maker
Submit an op-ed to your local newspaper
Start an online petition
Organize an event
(e.g., senator, representative, city councilmember, community association, company CEO, etc.)
