#8 - 16/02/24

‍

Now’s not the time.

- It’s not the time to be passive.
- It’s not the time to fear censorship.
- It’s not the time to do almost nothing.
- It’s not the time to accept the status quo.
- It’s not the time to sit back and watch along.

Now is not the time to be muted.

And if you’re feeling fatigued by it all, here’s a list of small things you can start with again:

1. Raise awareness on your WhatsApp stories
2. If you’re scared of being “public” with your advocacy, share news amongst friends and family
3. Go to protests
4. Sign relevant petitions
5. Do your best to boycott Z*on*st supporting brands
6. Give in charity to those in need
7. Make sincere du’a.

Every action has an opposite and equal reaction.
Believe you can make a difference.
And remember, one day, we’ll be asked, what did we do?
‍
Don’t let your answer be nothing.
