Getting Involved: The Importance of Community Engagement

Community engagement is one of the most powerful tools we have against oppression and financial servitude. You have the power to create real change, and it can start with something as simple as saying hello to a neighbor, attending a local government meeting, joining an organization, or even running for office.

However, there is a hard truth we must all accept—change requires sacrifice. We must be willing to step outside our comfort zones, open our minds, and lead with our hearts. These sacrifices, whether big or small, can make a difference. It could be a neighbor who finally has someone to turn to because you took the time to say hello, or a local official reconsidering their stance because they heard your perspective at a meeting.

Every action, no matter how small, contributes to meaningful change
