WHAT YOU CAN DO
- Read the article “The Affordability Crisis Hits LDS Homes” by Natalie Brown. She has some really interesting thoughts on how the church can move forward to adapt to the changing world we are living in, including perhaps subsidizing quality child care the way they do education.
- Work on recognizing your own privilege if you have it, and seeing/validating/acknowledging the people who may not be able to achieve the same standard of living as you do, or have the same choices that you do. Think about ways you can support people who need it on a personal level without making your charity the focus. Google “white saviorism” and “white privilege.”
- Advocate publicly and vocally for more women to be in more places of power where decisions are made that affect women and families.
