Daily Clicks

A no excuses list of websites where you can click daily to make a difference.


Email Activism

Websites that send you an email every week or two where all you have to do is click on a link in the email to make a difference. 


Budget 5 minutes a day for change.  How hard is that?

 

Daily Clicks

Click on these websites to automatically donate money to charities or programs.  (Advertisers pay the sites by the “click.”)  Melinda used to spend her “5 minutes” clicking on these websites every day - she’d put them in a folder in her bookmarks, and then open them all at once.  In the last year or so, she has found that the “Email Activism” sites are more her style... whatever works for you!

Email Activism

Working toward change takes many forms.  A big one we just don’t have time to be much involved in is policy.  But policy is EXTREMELY important for change, and it’s been going down hill for a while!  So, Melinda has a list of emails she’s signed up to receive.  When they come, she clicks on the link and signs a meaningful petition, letter to our state or national legislators, or to the head of a corporation... whoever these non-profit organizations have researched and found to be the most important person to provoke change.  They write the letter for you.  (Usually you can change it if you want.)  And you click “send.”  Feels like you’re doing something positive for the world before or after a day filling personal day-to-day needs.
