What Really Matters

About

If you could change the world, what would you do?
The reality is, it's up to us.

Scream for Change aims to spread awareness and inspire action on a variety of issues, both through our own work and by supporting other organizations working toward change. We have a general focus on human rights and environmental issues, but these areas include so many more topics. There's no doubt you'll find something here that you believe in.

`

Every great movement starts with a passing thought. That thought turns into an idea. Ideas, when genuine and beneficial, can spread like wildfire - all it takes is one person with the heart and motivation to light the match. Here at Scream for Change, our match is lit. That’s where you come in.

whats new sfc

We've been working on our page design and content soon to be released. Though it's taken longer than originally planned, it'll be worth it - promise!

First though, we've created a twitter page for SFC to keep you updated. Follow @screamforchange

Below you’ll find some of our ideas, plans and goals for Scream for Change, beyond our main mission.

What we're working on now.

1. More about Scream for Change
2. Better organization & page design (we’re working on it!)
3. Scream for Change original content - Articles, petitions, fundraisers, and more
4. A daily tip section on how you can make a difference, anywhere from internet activism to your everyday life. Whatever amount of time you have to make a difference, there's something for you!
5. Inspiration page? (quotes, photographs, etc.)
6. Incentives for participation

...and more, of course!

future

At Scream for Change we want to expand our horizons beyond Tumblr and the internet. We firmly believe that this can evolve into something much more, now all we need to do is get out there, spread the word, and make it happen.

We have big plans for SFC - but still being new, it's all a work in progress. A lot of this depends on you - please, make suggestions for what you want to see!
1. Scream for Change website/social networking pages? (Forums? Chat? Everything!)
2. FREE pins, bracelets, brochures, cards, etc. to spread the word about Scream for Change
3. Scream for Change memberships, possibly with additional incentives?
4. Merch? (all proceeds going towards a charity/cause, of course)
5. Bigger fundraisers/benefits, sponsored by Scream for Change (for various issues) - not limited to online, either!

What Really Matters

awakenourworld:

People without homes don’t care if your teeth are white.
Children forced to fight in war don’t care if you’re skinny.
Girls sold into the sex industry don’t care if your skin is tan.
People dying of hunger and disease don’t care what you look like.
You can’t make a difference in the world by being attractive.
Stop looking in the mirror. Start looking out the window.
