Once you're awake, you can no longer ignore what's been going on all around you. I don't just mean your family, your block, your neighborhood, your community, your country, but all over the world. You can no longer stand by and do nothing, and your life begins to change as you become more passionate about certain causes and begin to get involved in the solutions. You can act with your money, your time, your hands or your heart. Below are a list of articles and links I've come across to help you become more aware of issues that will open your eyes to what's going on and how you can get involved.
