A young college student in San Diego just asked for my help on a class project about activism. Below are her questions and the food for thought they inspired, from my perspective. Thank you for your time, this are the questions: what were the factors that led you to become an activist? why did you feel the need to take action? what cause/causes have been the focus of your activism and why? what has been the strategy (or strategies) of your activism? what forms of action do you think are the most effective as an activist and why? what do you feel are the results of your activism and the social movements you have participated in? how to you feel the larger goals of your activism have been/will be met? what did it take/what will it take? I appreciate it so much. Thank you. Well Jessica Sandoval, you've given me a nice afternoon project, and made me think. Hope this helps. What were the factors that led you to become an activist? Poli
