Do Something

POSTED IN: Creativity, Social Justice

My friends over at The Plow decided that simply talking about poverty wasn’t enough unless it was also accompanied by action. For Blog Action Day last week they released a series of printable posters centered around this simple message:

DO SOMETHING.
Sell what you can, give what you have.

What a great message that sums up exactly what I was talking about in my Poverty post last week. Below is an example of one of the posters. The simple graphics and bold message help to draw attention to the issue.

If you’re part of a church or want to organize social action in your community I’d encourage you to print up of these posters and read the post that goes with it. There’s even a place at the bottom where you can put the name and contact information for your church, event or organization.

Thanks Brad. This was a great project to work on, as it forced me to learn about the problem, and find simple ways that I can help. It is amazing to see doors that God will open up when you open yourself up to serve.

Hey Brad,

I dunno if your email isn’t working or it it’s just been overlooked, but I’ve emailed 3 times and haven’t received a response. Please check!

Thanks, Jay

You’re right, that’s definitely eye-catching! It also helps people realize that tiny things help in huge ways.
