The AoC Checklist provides me unbiased coverage of current events, easy, clear actions I can take for the causes I believe in, and lists of good news stories so I can feel like the work I am doing matters.

The Checklist provides excellent information that I can act on about issues, messages, and people to contact. I especially appreciate AoCC’s positive approach, focusing on what we support or oppose, and avoiding inflammatory and divisive language. Bottom line, being active with AoCC keeps me hopeful.
