Why do this action?

Power comes from connection and building relationships. The point of this step is to assemble your core team, the people who will sustain you, hold you accountable, and make your activism fun. Pick people you enjoy being around, who make you feel energized, and who bring out the best in you. By persuading them to join you in person to take even one small action, you are growing your circle of influence. You have changed someone else's actions. With that foundation, you're ready for the next step.
