If you haven't yet, what's getting in the way? en-us 2021-09-13 21:19:30 UTC 2021-09-13 21:41:27 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737433883 2021-09-13 21:36:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737433883 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737434471 The only one I can think of is stop asian hate and I went to a protest at city hall for about like 4 hours I think.

I have numerous friends and family that have indirectly known those that have been targeted, and I fear that I too might become a target. I have contributed by spreading awareness and by resisting those who talk down on asians.]]> 2021-09-13 21:37:10 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737434748 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737434982 I feel compelled by women’s rights because I am a woman and I have experienced misogyny first hand. ]]> 2021-09-13 21:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737434982 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737435097 Climate change will make our planet hotter. It will be much harder for many of the animals that I like to survive.
To help with climate change, I switched to using solar energy for my home.]]> 2021-09-13 21:37:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737435097 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737435990 i really care about climate change and trying to do everything possible to curb my footprint on the environment.

I have contributed by spreading awareness through social media.]]> 2021-09-13 21:38:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737436017 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737437316 I am somewhat compelled by everything. I understand the importance, and can see why people are fighting for it. I have not done anything to contribute. As messed up as it sounds, I don’t find personal significance in these movements and would rather work on bettering myself as an individual.]]> 2021-09-13 21:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737437316 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737437718 I am compelled by the poverty and homelessness social issue. I think that the wages aren't high enough to live off. I haven't done anything. I do not think I should contribute since the government should do something.]]> 2021-09-13 21:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737437718 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737437833 a cause that i feel compelled by is the cause of the democratic socialism movement. i care about it because the aim of the movement is to stop capitalist exploitation across the globe. capitalism is a system designed by the owning class to exploit the rest for their own profit. i have organized with the dsa on issues relating to public health and the climate crisis. ]]> 2021-09-13 21:39:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737437833 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737437907 I have not been compelled by any of these movements. ]]> 2021-09-13 21:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737437907 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438185 A social cause that I am compelled by civil rights and racial discrimination because it affects the people around me and it is a serious issue that this generation has seen. We have experienced the things that people do to fight for civil rights and racial discrimination and that is why I am so compelled to it because I feel like I would be able to help fight this matter and stand up for the people who go through this. I have posted a lot of Instagram posts that would help people be aware of this situation and I have tried to educate people about this situation so that people can understand what people go through. ]]> 2021-09-13 21:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438185 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438271 Women’s rights is a social justice movement I feel compelled by since women have long been oppressed in society and even now there are attempts to further push them down. Also the LGBTQ+ movement is one I feel compelled to due to my experiences and some friends who have been targeted and demonized for their identities. I have donated to women’s right causes before but haven’t donated to every cause I align with because I’m a minor and don’t make much money. But I try to be a supporter and listen out and promote these movements whenever possible. ]]> 2021-09-13 21:39:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438271 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438288 A cause that I feel compelled by is climate change. Climate change is having and will have a very harmful effect on the planet if we do not do anything about it, so many people are working together to stop carbon emissions in many ways. I don’t really do anything special to contribute to climate change, like using electric cars or buying solar panels or anything, but I do try to keep my electricity usage to a minimum and throw trash in the correct bins. ]]> 2021-09-13 21:39:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438288 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438333 A cause that I am compelled by is climate change. I care about this cause because I have learned and read about how it is affecting our world. Reading more about climate change and its affect in our world has made me want to create more awareness through posts or educating another person about this topic. ]]> 2021-09-13 21:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438333 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438350 I feel compelled by this movement because it applies to me directly. Since the start of the covid-19 pandemic, attacks on Asian Americans have increased by a large amount. I feel it as my responsibility to raise awareness of anti-Asian hate and violence. ]]> 2021-09-13 21:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438350 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438381 A cause that I feel compelled by is the climate change movement. I care about it because it will significantly impact the future generations negatively if we don’t do anything to stop it, and we only have one world to live in (as of now, at least), so I feel the responsibility to care and protect our planet, and to encourage others to do the same. additionally, all that is required are just some small steps and efforts, from throwing away recyclables in the recycling to reducing the amount of plastic used, but if we all do these things together, then we can make a great positive impact on our worlds and our future.]]> 2021-09-13 21:39:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438381 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438409 A movement that I am really compelled by is the BLM. Not only is it a very large known movement now a days it’s a very important movement to know about and to support throughout generations. I am very compelled by it since during last years summer a lot of things that was about injustice came out and it was just not a fair thin to see in the world so the people who support BLM came out and started to shout and speak truth about their rights and what needed to be done.]]> 2021-09-13 21:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438409 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438562 Feminism. I care about this because it directly relates to the people around me and is needed to work toward gender equality. I try my best to call out gender norms and stereotypes in my daily life. Media counteracts this movement sometimes by propagating unrealistic standards and reinforcing gender roles.]]> 2021-09-13 21:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438562 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438653 I have a hidden disability and i’m thankful for all of the help that is provided for people with disabilities. I haven’t really done anything to contribute other than helping people that have a more prominent disability (wheelchair, blind, etc). I actually gave up my golden retriever for a person that needed a guide dog. ]]> 2021-09-13 21:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438653 https://padlet.com/mluong14/78por6c7e79zfi3q/wish/1737438998 I care about women’s rights because I support the cause. I believe that there are many opportunities that women are missing out on or not considered for just because they are women.
