Tips for Being a Social Activist | The 4 types of activism, Which one are YOU?

Описание: Hi everyone! My name is Casey Molina! I'm a journalist and content creator with a passion for eco sustainability and racial inequality. Following the death of George Floyd and the reemergence of the Black Lives Matter movement there has been a global outcry for justice for countless Black Lives that have been lost to police brutality all around the world. Being in the midst of a pandemic and an impending election I know it's hard to stay engaged with the movements and causes we care about, but hopefully this video inspires you all to identify what type(s) of activists you are and figure out how you can have a sustainable impact in the movements you're passionate about!
