Get Involved

You are reading this because you want to volunteer with ACT NOW! Thank you and welcome to a community of active thinkers and doers. Continue reading to find the answer to questions like ‘how do I volunteer?’ or ‘what can I do?’ 

The ideas below are about how to get started and become an active participant in the movement for change. But, this is not a binding, set-in-stone kind of a list, it is an evolving set of ideas that you yourself can adapt or add too.

If you have a fantastic, earth-shattering kind of an idea, and you can make it work then go ahead with it. As long as it sticks to the issues, is non-violent and doesn’t involve a defamation suit it’s fine. You can always run it past us if you are not sure.
