Activists Sound Off
If you have a lens that features something on activism, please join our group. Feature your cause here. Is your lens on feminism, human rights, civil rights, equality, free speech? Let's unite here. I will separate issues from people who are activists and invite both to participate. If you have any ideas about how to improve this group, please contact me. I'm hoping for INTERACTION! So please vote on plexos. Also you are invited to share any ideas for interaction with me and I will consider incorporating and good suggestions. Make this your group and have some ownership.
