Activism in Action
This week the Maples and the Compass Community took part in the March 14th Walk Out. After much discussion on what it means to be an activist, the Maples created signs for things that they felt needed to change in order to make the world a better place. These issues included: gun control, gender equity, environmental protection and more.
