Take Action with AFFA

Because equality takes all of us.

At AFFA, we believe that building a more just and inclusive world starts right here—when we show up for each other, speak out, and stay connected. Change doesn’t happen overnight, but together, our vigilance becomes a way of life. However you choose to get involved, your voice matters.

Below are a few meaningful ways to take action today—locally and beyond.
