Hi Amari!

Welcome to Peace First--we're excited you've joined us! There are lots of ways to get started with creating positive change. This community will give you tools and relationships to help you get started and then see a project through. We can't wait to build with you!

I'm excited to learn more about what you're interested in. How do you want to make change? I'd love to hear your thoughts about injustices you see, or strengths you can share in your work for change.

One more thing: Can you help out another peacemaker by checking out their project and adding your thoughts? It's a great way to get to know other people and to share ideas. Here's one project you might be interested in: https://www.peacefirst.org/projects/your-vote-your-voice-teen-voices-must-be-heard

Please let me know if you have any questions! I'm looking forward to hearing from you. :) Adrian

Awesome! :) Here are some projects that are working on this injustice in various communities, all in different phases:

https://www.peacefirst.org/projects/immigrants-and-refugees-who-are-stereotyped-incapable-criminals
https://www.peacefirst.org/projects/peace-builders-uniting-us
https://www.peacefirst.org/projects/i-care-about-limiting-school-fights-because-my-education-matters
https://www.peacefirst.org/projects/racism-sometimes-unintentional-takes-place-our-school
https://www.peacefirst.org/projects/prevent-discrimination-against-people-other-cultures

And there are many others, too! As you can see, you're not alone. <3 Feel free to reach out to people whose projects you find interesting, or to weigh in on their ideas or questions. It might help to give you a framework for thinking about how to solve problems at your school, too!
