What does it mean to be an activist? To me it's standing up for your community and being informed on issues that affect you. I encourage my less politically active friends to speak up whenever they can and come join me at a protest rally. Another good way to help your community is by donating money to causes that align with yours. Last, but not least, vote in every single election. One organization that does good work in helping citizens to get out and vote is the Fair Elections Center.
