Community Issues do exist!
Pick a cause!
Walk the community!
Talk to the community!
Learn the community!
Don't just talk the talk ... take the walk ... in their community!

In Their Commuity #SocialIssues
Young people of colour unable to secure employment because jobs go to non-community youth; young single mothers of colour on welfare because they're unable to obtain higher education or work because affordable childcare doesn't exist; people of colour ashamed, afraid, and unable to fight their mental demons because of the stigma about mental illness - young men of colour with mental illnesses are jailed or killed and called thugs; people of colour can't afford to eat healthy because the rent is too high and they live in privately-owned unmaintained unsecured apartment buildings; creative and skill building programs and projects for young people of colour are either available for a short period or do not exist; aging people of colour become invisible because society no longer has use for them; but it doesn't end there!
