University and Community Service
Who is looking after your community and who is making sure where you live is not being exploited and overused? Involve yourself in the happenings of your community and educate yourself enough to know who the people are that make the decisions. By involving yourself you can be a very powerful individual. Educating yourself on issues and about local government and local organizations can make you a more effective activist. This provides a solid foundation of backup information to justify your argument or stand on a particular issue. This link is designed to help you effectively voice your thoughts allowing politicians and leaders to know you’re watching their actions and concerned with your community.
Ways to Get Involved
You can get involved by attending city council meetings,
planning commission meetings, state assembly and senate
meetings, by joining committees that deal with issues of
concern by writing letters to leaders and politicians and
by joining organizations which deal with issues of concern.
To obtain meeting times you can visit the headquarters
of the organization holding the meeting you wish to attend
and many organizations provide meeting dates and times
on the internet as well.
