Voice By Cecily Barrie activism |ˈaktəˌvizəm| noun 1. the policy or action of using vigorous campaigning to bring about political or social change.
As members of the Antioch community, we are urged to impact social change at every turn, with each assignment or course study preparing us for activism as a life perspective. In many ways, this may be what led us to choose Antioch, and while that is certainly the first step, we must venture further. It is not enough that we banter with each other, insulated by our educations. We are tasked with much greater responsibility, for knowing and staying silent is perhaps the greatest crime against our humanity. We must take our knowledge and passions out into the world, educating those who do not yet know, those who have not yet heard. We must be the voice.
