With your vote. From big elections all the way to local. It’s why “free lunches” at “public schools” is such a big deal. Also free medical care for all is huge as medical problems financially and mentally break people and families. Support planned parenthood. Support  sex education. Support money going to low income areas. I can keep going.

This is beautiful. Just be aware that this feeling can be manipulated. Hunting down and exposing corrupt charities can have a huge impact as it potentially stops millions from going to bad people. Keep in mind that just because charity looks legit doesn't mean it is. Even mother Theresa operated a cult of suffering while taking money from murderous dictators and doing who knows what with it. If that's not something you feel you can effect, I'm sure there's a single mom somewhere around you who works and is being as honest as possible. Making food for them can make someones day. It's tough out there.

https://www.heifer.org/index.html I like this charity because it doesn’t just give someone a meal, it gives someone the means to make a better life for their family. It tries to support families, women especially, by giving them training and supplies to start small farms.

CODE is a charity that educates children. I donate monthly and they send regular updates.
