Act 4 Change (over Zoom)

We meet to share knowledge about actions we can/did take, to share experience and get support with doing actions, and learn skills for taking actions. We come together to focus on taking action now to make systemic changes for racial justice.

In addition to helping each other develop plans of action, we are adding to a Google Sheet with current petitions, initiatives to call legislators about, groups to join, podcasts that inform us about actions we can take, and groups doing great work already that we can engage with, etc.

We meet regularly on the 3rd Saturday of each month. We welcome you to plan your activities around this and join us. Now is the time to act for change!

Impetus for the Act 4 Change group (note from the organizer, Deb):

Nate Woods (pictured) was executed/lynched on 3/5/20 in Alabama. He was innocent, just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Along with many other folks, I made a few actions to help stop his execution, but it wasn't enough. This was my motivation for starting a monthly Knapsack meeting with a focus on taking action.

Our first meeting was on 3/28/20.
