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.

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!

High-Res

theafricatheynevershowyou:

A concerned women sits next to a placard during a protest by women and men, medical practitioners and people living with HIV, protesting the high maternal deaths in Kampala Uganda, Friday, May 27, 2011. The group stormed the Constitutional Court in Kampala to hear for themselves a public interest court case filed against the government. About 16 women die in Uganda while giving birth due lack of adequate health facilities.

The case comes at a time when Members of Parliament sworn-in a week ago are demanding that the government extends a $20,000 advance to each of them among other proposals for an upward review in pay and a removal of taxes on cars which they will buy under the already generous motor vehicle loan scheme.
