Form a network with other campus-based professionals in your state who support affirmative action. Share information and consider calling on legislators together. Seek out organizations in your state that support affirmative action. Form alliances with grassroots groups and affiliates of national organizations, many of which already have efforts under way. On a more positive note, proposals have been introduced in several states that would strengthen or expand affirmative action programs.
Some examples are Florida, Hawaii, Illinois, New York, and Oregon.
If you are in one of these states, be sure to thank your legislators for their continued support of affirmative action.
