Learning about social justice and understanding the systems of oppression that affect us is extremely important. And it\\u2019s just as important to take action on what you\\u2019ve learned or in light of what you\\u2019ve learned to bring about changing the systems to create something new. This episode covers how to figure out where to share what you\\u2019re learning and how to take action on what you\\u2019re learning. This is part five of five in a social-justice focused series.\\xa0
