It's no secret to most of you that I'm heavily involved in campaigns for equal rights for several disadvantaged groups, chiefly women, people of colour and LGBTQ people. It plays a very large part in my life both on and offline - online in the form of blogging, petitioning, writing to government members and the like, and offline in the form of charity events, donations, counselling and general activism within my community. I feel like these issues are highly important and I want to do my part to both raise awareness and change attitudes in my local community and beyond. It's made me unpopular at times, but it's also incredibly rewarding.
How big a role would you say these issues play in your life? Are you an avid social justice campaigner, someone who couldn't care less, or somewhere in between? Would you be interested in joining local efforts to combat these injustices in your community? Or perhaps you already are involved and have some cool stories to share. Talk about the role social justice has in your life ITT.
