Last Week's Week-Of-Action
The Power of Our Pride, Art, and Civic Engagement
Last week, we harnessed OUR POWER with a week of digital actions. The week started with driving calls during phonebanks supporting the actions of local Black Lives Matter organizers. In the last two months, we've driven over 35,000 dials- a record for March For Our Lives.
