EVERY RUNNING LEAP NEEDS A FIRST STEP TO START
People can make promises to change to world, and with promises come action. Did you know that there are specific actions - not big ones, but small, purposeful decisions to make the world a little better. Together, we can make it a lot better.

WEAR YOUR SUPPORT ON YOUR SLEEVE - Or, at least, your jacket.
The Five Actions are five different but connected campaigns that progressive groups have put together for anyone to participate in. You can choose to become active in one, or two, or all of them if you wish - and we encourage it! For the first 50 participants who submit a video showing the completion of any one of our Five Actions will receive a CUSTOM LAPEL PIN of our corresponding Action Badges designed by renowned street artist Shepard Fairey. When you have completed an action, go to the ACTION PARTICIPANTS page and post a response (see below).
