We can\u2019t end poverty in the US without addressing racial inequalities. For everyone to reach their full potential, every US citizen must make a conscious decision and take action in their daily lives to reduce racial injustice and inequality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There have been (and still are) increased protests by racial justice groups to end systematic racism, oppression, violence, and racial divergences. However, there are many opportunities in our daily lives where we as US citizens can take action right now to support racial justice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>1. Choose to Support Racial Justice As A Way of Life<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The power of example has a ripple effect on the people we surround ourselves with, and they may adopt your way of thinking and your example very quickly. You can start by drawing up a list and having a closer look at your choices at work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For instance, you can examine how you respond to emails from specific individuals or which people you mostly tend to set up one-to-one meetings with. Taking special note of your behavior will enable you to prioritize including and hearing people of color.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another example is identifying which charity organizations you\u2019re donating to. By making small donations to organizations that work towards the upliftment of black communities, you\u2019ll be making a significant difference. Lastly, you can make a conscious effort to support black-owned small businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>2. Call Out on Racial Injustice<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should call it out immediately when you hear or see racism.It\u2019s understandable that you may be uncomfortable at first, but calling racism out and having difficult conversations is something that needs to be done. Unfortunately, some people aren\u2019t always aware that they\u2019ve been racist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A reasonable person will listen to your argument and be willing to examine the deeper reasons for their actions and words. They may be made aware of issues they weren\u2019t aware of before and make a conscious effort to change.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>3. Make Your Voice Heard<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your vote matters. Full stop. Voting in federal and local elections for politicians that aim to reform racial justice policies and inequalities makes your voice heard and brings about positive change. If we can collectively align our goals and come together, we can make significant changes in colored communities, create jobs, and much more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Changing legislation and economics can only happen if we vote for suitable candidates and get them a front seat in congress. We\u2019ll be able to call on our elected officials to take action and bring forth changes. We can demand that our elected officials support legislation to limit the use of deadly force by police.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Take Action Now!<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These are just some ways you can immediately take action in your daily life. In addition, you can join an online movement or join a safe and legal protest and most of all, you can educate yourself further and stay aware of daily news and developments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If there\u2019s one thing we can take from history is that one man can start a movement and bring about massive change. Nelson Mandela\u2019s legacy still resonates today, and one of his most memorable quotes we must remember is: It all seems impossible until it\u2019s done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalcitizen.org\/en\/content\/17-inspiring-quotes-from-nelson-mandela\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.globalcitizen.org\/en\/content\/17-inspiring-quotes-from-nelson-mandela\/<\/a><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69f35da6c4355\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop\"  style=\"\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t<div class=\"wpb_video_widget wpb_content_element vc_clearfix   vc_video-aspect-ratio-169 vc_video-el-width-100 vc_video-align-center\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_video_wrapper\"><iframe title=\"Promoci\u00f3n 1 voto m\u00e1s cercano\" data-src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/456406040?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69f35da6c4728\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row full-width-content vc_row-o-equal-height vc_row-flex vc_row-o-content-top\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; \"><div class=\"row-bg-wrap\" data-bg-animation=\"none\" data-bg-animation-delay=\"\" data-bg-overlay=\"false\"><div class=\"inner-wrap row-bg-layer\" ><div class=\"row-bg viewport-desktop using-bg-color\"  style=\"background-color: #a65bf4; \"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"row_col_wrap_12 col span_12 dark left\">\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone\"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"divider-wrap\" data-alignment=\"default\"><div style=\"height: 4px;\" class=\"divider\"><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Racial Justice: 3 Ways You Can Take Action Right Now Active reinforcement of policies, practices, attitudes and actions that produce equitable outcomes for all Racial Justice: 3 Ways You Can...","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-9437","page","type-page","status-publish"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/1votecloser.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/1votecloser.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/1votecloser.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1votecloser.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/1votecloser.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/1votecloser.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/9437\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/1votecloser.org\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
