Our community meets every month to have a group discussion centered around a different activist in history, covering a wide spectrum of different races, ethnicities, genders, religions, LGBTQIA+, etc. There is a specific focus on activists that fought and advocated for women’s rights, LGBTQIA+ rights, racial justice, mental health awareness, sexual assault, and legal advocacy. Our goal is to highlight underrepresented voices in history that demanded change and significantly shaped the world for the better. We hope to not only relate to the different activists and their real stories on a deeper level, but also be inspired as well.
