I may not be on the board any more but this organisation means a great deal to me, to audiences (particularly in rural areas) and to social justice. So, please even a small donation makes a big difference 🙏🏻

[Take One Action @takeoneaction]

Black Friday = buy stuff
Take One Action = change stuff 🌍

🌱 We're 25% to our goal, and your donation can do so much more than dreary disposable deals. Can you support our Crowdfunder to make our 2025 festivals a reality? 💸

[Lindsay Dunbar @revoltshesaid]

It’s the end of my @takeoneaction era. Last night was my last board meeting as Chair. I don’t think I’ll ever find an org that compares. Times are difficult for the sector & we navigated a lot of change. I have learned so much. I’ll forever be grateful to them for having me ❤️

[Take One Action @takeoneaction]

@revoltshesaid We can’t thank you enough for your support over all these years Lindsay - we’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who champions TOA with such warmth and passion. So excited for this new chapter for you, and see you soon! ♥️
