• Take Action

    Use the links below to learn about ways you can take action.

    • ADL: Take Action The ADL (Anti-Defamation League) is a non-governmental organization that uses comprehensive approaches to fighting hate and securing justice, including countering cyberhate, anti-bias education and law enforcement training. They have many informative resources and training programs that help in the fight against Anti-Semitism, Racism, and hate in all forms.
    • NAPAWF Take Action  The NAPAWF (National Asian Pacific American Women’s Forum) works to build a movement for social, political, and structural change for Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) women and girls. They work to create a safer, more just world for Asian Pacific American Women and their communities and have resources for you to help them reach their goals.
    • UHRP Take Action The Uyghur Human Rights Project (UHRP) promotes the rights of the Uyghurs and other Turkic Muslim peoples in East Turkistan (referred to by the Chinese government as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region) through research-based advocacy.
    • Support LGBTQ+ Rights and the passage of the Equality Act in the United States Congress: 
    • Check the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition Advocacy page for information.  In the past, we urged our elected officials to support a bill to establish a Truth and Healing Commission. Rep. Brad Schneider sent a letter in response to our plea from 2022, and he supported the bill, as did Sen. Dick Durbin.

    • You can also simply call or contact your elected officials simply to express your concerns, to thank them for their leadership and support, or to ask them to take a particular action.  For example, in January 2023, the IL Holocaust Museum sent us an alert and a call for action concerning a red flag for genocide in Artsakh, Azerbaijan.  In response, Rep. Schneider cosponsored H.Res.108.
