Raise Money
Most civil rights
organizations are
charities, so they
rely on money from
the public. You could
try raising money
for particular
organizations
through events such
as yard sales or
sponsored activities
with your friends.

Show Up!
Civil rights activists often organize marches and other
mass events to highlight a particular cause. Watch for
events near you, and go along if you can. Large-scale
events are great ways to gain publicity, and the more
people that attend, the greater the exposure.
