Actively involved in the community in which I live and raise my children including their education, activities, and other community activism
People doing this are also doing these things:

I am an activist in that I sign petitions, write letters, and make phone calls to the necessary parties, but I feel like that’s not enough. I feel like I’m barely doing anything. It makes me feel horrible. I want to be out there making a difference. However, the only things I can think of that are on the “front line” are attending rallies and leafleting. What else can I do to be more involved and “active”? Do I need specific qualifications in order to do them?

I think I’d like to get more involved in my political party (Green) as well as get more active in Greenpeace and Amnesty International.
i am an activist. i’ve been one for a long time, but i still feel like i haven’t done enough. i guess that is a side-effect of this activism, because i always want to do more and make a bigger difference
I did !!!
Joined ‘Animanaturalis’ and worked with them last week in a fur-free campaign in Barcelona.
Now I’m also waiting for new Greenpeace campaigns, since I also joined them.
Really really worth doing!

I am quitting my two online activism groups. They were taking up way too much of my time. It was also really stressful because I put in a lot of work while i think many other members were not. I just give up. I’m going to spend my free time improving my life rather than being an activist. It was a short lived experience but its for the best that I drop it. Maybe they will do okay on their own or maybe not, but I just can’t do it anymore.
