One of the actions suggested for me was to start small, 'sometimes the smallest actions in your everyday life can have big impact.' Most people in Canada know that residential schools had a negative impact on Indigenous people, but some people don't realize that it is something the survivors and their families continue to struggle with. I am passionate about discussing and sharing information about this with people I know or people who have been impacted by residential schools, but I would like to get more comfortable talking with others I don't know and/or haven't been impacted by residential schools in some capacity so I can help spread knowledge and awareness. Until I get more comfortable having these conversations with everyone, I have the links to the Orange Shirt Society website (https://orangeshirtday.org/) and to the TRC Calls to Action (https://ehprnh2mwo3.exactdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Calls_to_Action_English2.pdf) in my Instagram bio; a small action that could have a big impact.

An option it gave me was to use my social media platform to raise awareness of one or more issue that needs to be talked about! this is something I've been doing but not as much as I'd like too. I think social media is a great way for someone's voice to be heard!

One action I prefer to take is to amplify messages and voices. Instead of taking more space or noise in so many crowded activist spaces, I'd rather use my power and privilege and make sure better equipped and better knowledgeable have the resources and tools to be amplified.

One action that it provided me with was to speak up. I noticed while i was taking the quiz that i was choosing answers that required no talking and while i like to say that its because “I prefer actions over words” it also just decreases tension and avoids conflict and im also a people pleaser but i could definitely start using my voice to induce change, starting with the people around me.

Run a local campaign and use my friends and family to create change in my community

The website https://globalgoals.org/ lists 17 Global Goals that world leaders agreed to. You can click on any of the goals to learn more about them, find out how to contribute to the goal, and understand why we all need to do our part to ensure a more equal and fair world for everyone. This is a great first step for "Newbies" and those wanting to get into activism.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The climate crisis. Ensuring no one goes hungry. Human rights abuses. Extreme poverty. Problems of this scale can be overwhelming, but the Global Goals(also known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs) are the solution to tackling them.

One action I may take is being more open and willing to discuss my viewpoints, I tend to avoid talking about/posting about things I feel are important to avoid conflict. This is something I would like to change, as even if discussions can be contentious, they need to be had in order to bring about positive change in the world.

Having discussions with people on controversial topics with the intent of educating ourselves is the first step in being an activist. It acknowledges why we agree/disagree with them, the pros and cons involved in solutions, and why it's an issue in the first place.

Don't be worried about what other people think of my opinion. Speak up for what I believe in, and do the right thing because it may encourage others to do the same.

One of the suggested actions was use social media to speak out and use the power of my voice to spread awareness and education. I think in todays world social media can be a very powerful tool for education and awareness if used correctly.

One powerful, but useful action to take is using your voice. Start with family and friends, albeit uncomfortable at first. It takes one conversation to begin powerful reform. Speak up against racially informed opinions or biases, educate and spread awareness instead of doing or saying nothing.

One action that almost anyone could do is contact their representatives (MP for federal and MLA for provincial). There are many issues I want addressed and a good way to ensure they get heard is to write a letter to one of my representatives. However, I find myself getting nervous about writing to people, and often procrastinating on doing something like this till I end up not doing it. If I want change to happen, I and others as well, should report issues to them. It is a part of their job description after all, so we might as well take advantage of this to get the change we want.

One of the suggested actions it provided me was to get online. One of the most powerful tools in todays world is the use of media. Instead of strictly using it for pure entertainment I can use it as a opportunity to advocate for certain causes, and as a way to speak up and inspire others.

One action that I take to pursue activism is educating myself about different societal issues and spreading awareness about them. I believe the first step in activism (and in most endeavours) is education.

An action I could take would be to spread awareness about issues or goals on social media. This pathway would allow these topics to be seen by hundreds or maybe even thousands of people, which would do wonders for spreading awareness and engagement

One option it gave me was to volunteer in my community! Doing this can create helpful change at a local scale, as well as making the community feel more connected to each other.

One action I may take to be an activist is to start conversations with people around me about social inequalities, since word of mouth is a very effective way to raise awareness and engage others
