“Dreams and reality are opposites. Action synthesizes them.” Assata Shakur, author and activist

Hi ZORA fam, and happy Monday! It’s the last week of July; we’re more than halfway through the year. How are those resolutions turning out?

I know we’ve learned life can take some unpredictable turns, and some of our best-made plans have fallen apart. But that doesn’t mean we have to stop planning or dreaming about the future. Today’s quote from Assata Shakur reminds us that turning our dreams into a reality simply requires some action on our part. We’re seeing great changes in the world today because people are taking action. You can do the same!

What are some minor (or major!) goals you still want to work on? What changes do you want to see? Let us know how you’re taking action using the hashtag #ZORACheckIn on Twitter or Instagram.
