Like I stated before, I believe it's the same number of concerned individuals who spend time learning and reading up on these issues. And with any issue, regardless of what it may be, people have the tendency to share information they may have with individuals who are already at the same knowledge base as they are. When we get new facts, new literature, new anything on what we care for, the first and possibly the only people we share it with are our friends who could relate. Compare that to the number of times you showed that intriguing article to an individual who doesn't know what's going on. I find myself spending more time talking about affirmative action and Prop. 209 with my parents, roommates and friends as opposed to people who might not necessarily know about the issue.
Small steps lead to bigger and better things.
We need to show our community our concern on the attacks on affirmative action. We need people to come out to rallies and fight for our rights. You've read the above precinct-walk scenario. You'll leave contented and empowered, knowing that you personally have made a difference in many people's lives. My community is always under attack, whether it be in employment or in education.
