Fight Ignorance: Educate Yourself

I’ve heard the word “ignorant” used a lot in frustration against 2016’s election. People throw their hands up: how do you fix ignorance?

Activism is local. Make it really local: educate yourself. Find an issue you don’t know a lot about, and then find a way to learn more. Maybe you know a lot about feminist issues, but not much about racial justice. Maybe you know about environmentalism, but not trans rights, or what it feels like to be an immigrant.

Find your own weaknesses and confront them.
