Do you want to change the world? Is there injustice that you see that you can't accept anymore? Do you see the degradation of society as corruption or as a problem we can solve? Stop thinking about the reasons you cannot do something and instead let your mind work to find the ways that you CAN do it. I am one person, I know that alone my power is limited so I have been attempting to use Steemit in order to gain a platform with which to affect positive change with.
Steemit users have amazing potential here. With the advent of cryptocurrencies and the widespread use of the internet throughout the world, there are now more ways than ever that we can help the world. Imagine a how much we could help a community somewhere like Nigeria with crowdfunding charities directly with a steemit post. We just need a community of caring people to post articles about certain villages or people or communities that need help.
A huge reason I don't donate to charities is that most of the money never gets utilized because of the infrastructure required to run a charity (not to mention the corruption within "non-profits") but due to the transparent nature of cryptocurrency it will be easy to make this charity/activist group and keep it from becoming corrupt (and cheap), no matter who runs it.
I want to create a group that will post to a unified steemit (in order to streamline donations and save money) account about various crises and causes around the world that need help and we could take the profits generated from this steemit to affect real change in the world. We could donate steem (or convert it to something else) to people in need or create movements and actually organize political events while getting funding directly from the steemit community.
Remember the days when reporters actually broke stories that changed the landscape of the world? People who would shed light on the backroom deals that occur and whose integrity would send them to jail rather than give up a source. Not the pseudo-entertainers they call journalists these days. We could essentially fund investigative journalists with steemit and could even create a source of information that is unbiased by mainstream media at the same time that we change the world. I am looking for anybody who cares about the world and can write an article. That's all we need to change the world, you and your voice.
