Activism paper

There are no exams in our course.  Instead, you are asked to demonstrate your knowledge, critical thinking, and mastery of the course content through your discussion forum contributions, lesson assignments, and a class project.  This project requires that you go a step further than researching, writing, and thinking about sexual and reproductive health . . . it requires you to act.  Activism should not be intimidating.  Think about the topics that impact you or people you care about, or think about things you have seen or read about in your community.  Also, since this is a flexible assignment, feel free to raise ideas that I have not addressed.
