Many beings have expressed to us that they want to "make a difference" but aren't sure how or don't feel like they can. You all can, and here's why!

This article goes out to all of you who are activists, want to become more involved in activism, or at least think what activists do is important and want to understand it better. If that doesn't apply to you, you probably won't be interested in this – but if so, you probably wouldn't be reading this either!

Happy Pride!
