One action Ariadne would like you to do:

"Personal growth is one of the paths to achieving a well educated and critically minded society - this can be anything from picking up rubbish at the beach, going to strikes or using your social media platform to inform others about important issues. Reposting people’s work and signing their petitions is an easy way to show your support."
