ASALH’s Magna Carta: A Call to Action
Ida B. Wells said, “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.” Inspired by this, ASALH convened a national discussion with key leaders to develop the ASALH Magna Carta—a framework for civic engagement and resistance against threats to democracy.
10 Ways to Take Action:
✔ Support social justice organizations
✔ Build local action networks
✔ Engage in civic and political spaces

The future of democracy is in our hands. Let’s take action today.
