We discuss the importance of shifting our mindset to one that is infused with hope. Positive change comes when we choose hope. Though nobody can fix it all, we can all do something and make an impact. Sharon reminds us that if something is worth doing for everyone, it’s worth doing for one person.
Sharon’s civic action toolkit recommendations are:
-
Choose hope.
-
Get involved in an issue that is important to you because your actions do matter.
