Actions
#MillionsMissing 2021 will be taking place the week of May 9-15th! Each day there will be ways you can join and engage with the community! This year’s actions can be taken anytime during the week! Local communities will be hosting virtual events throughout the week & our main events will take place on Wednesday, March 12th!
You should not feel any pressure from us to engage in everything all week long. This is a very robust week of events. We offer many actions and events so that you can pick and choose what inspires you most. Remember, you should take care of yourself first and pace.
The virtual toolkit resource provides an outline of the week’s actions and events. Plus it provides information on how to tell your story, sharing your art, sample social media posts, and a sample email to gather allies. The #MillionsMissing 2021 Google Shared Drive has a lot of additional information and recourses.
