It’s easy to be overwhelmed by all the evil in the world and feel helpless to stop it. As young college students, we are relatively powerless beyond campus.

We can’t divest funds to pressure companies if we aren’t invested in anything yet. It’s hard to fundraise for causes when we’re all trying to save money for ourselves, however, we can still combine our strengths to create something meaningful.
