Master List of Tangible Action You Take (NYC)

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD ANYTHING ELSE! :)

Objectives:

1. To create a living document that compiles multiple means so that you can become involved with your community, so that we can transform our fear, anger, frustration, and grief into tangible, visible, action.
2. To move away from social-media slacktivism and begin stand-up for the ideals and people we believe in the best way we are able to.

Please feel free to contribute any resources/ideas.
