10 Minutes of Activism: Take the Pledge

At Phoenix LaRocco, we believe activism doesn’t have to be overwhelming. In just 10 minutes a day, you can make a real difference in your community—and beyond. Through our partnership with Vernon Hills Fun People, a non-partisan young professionals group, we're building a movement rooted in consistency, impact, and collective action.

Because change begins with action, not perfection. If every person took just 10 minutes a day to engage in civic or community work, we could create ripple effects across the country. That’s over 60 hours of activism a year—per person.

• Call or email your local representative about a key issue.
   
• Register to vote or help someone else do it.
   
• Share a post about an upcoming protest or educational event.
   
• Donate $5 to a nonprofit doing work you believe in.
   
• Sign a petition and share it with friends.
   
• Leave a Google review for a local mutual aid org or nonprofit.
   
• Text 5 friends and invite them to a community town hall.
   

Activism also includes rest and reflection. Every 7th day, we pause to restore our energy, celebrate progress, and care for ourselves and one another. Activism is a long game—and rest is part of the resistance.
