At TAP, we have found ourselves horrified by recent events in the US, and have wondered what we can do to take action.
As an organization committed to equality and social justice, we've decided to compile a list of articles and stories that we've found to be powerful and informative. We've also included some organizations that are working domestically to tackle some of these issues, in case you would like to take action, too.
