“The great social justice changes in our country have happened when people came together,
organized, and took direct action. It is this right that sustains and nurtures our democracy today. The civil rights movement, the labor movement,
the women's movement, and the equality movement for our LGBT brothers and sisters are
all manifestations of these rights.”

BUILDING IN BENCHMARKS
Benchmark goals are the stepping stones to measure progress and keep you on track.
They also serve to build a proper ramp towards achieving your big, ambitious goal.

They timelines that make sense given your overarching goal.
They help track performance, and allow you to pace yourself over time.
Are adjustable!
