I want to be able to support the causes I believe in and actually be a part of the change I want to see but I was never taught how to find, join and work with these groups.
I see all the time about protests and community action and people actually going out and helping people who need help and support and I always hated the fact that I only know about it happening after the fact and I want to get involved!
Any help would be much appreciated!
Please read some stuff on Effective Altruism.

Different people have different standards for what that means,
some hold:
- policy-change is most-effective
- grass-roots is most effective
- low overhead is most-effective
etc.
I’d divide resources into
Kipp.org Teach For America Dalit Network
because all-3 are working to get the next-generation thinking, and without that, we-the-species is flushed down the sewer:
our generation deems thinking “optional, and ill-advised”, apparently.

Yeah, OP, do not fall for EA nonsense. They’re not trying to change anything for the better, just pushing justifications for extreme wealth and the misery it creates for everyone else.
