VIGILANCE IS A WAY OF LIFE

Because the work of achieving, nurturing, defending, and ensuring equality and acceptance for all of us takes all of us.

There are many ways you can make your voice be heard. Here are some current initiatives where you can take action alongside us and help make a difference in your community, nation, and world.
