Anti prejudice letter writing
Do you know of a situation where there has been harm caused because of prejudice? You could write a letter or email about it to a local paper, your school newsletter or youth group magazine. You do not need to name individuals who were involved, but you can express your opinions and concerns about what you witnessed.
You probably will want to consider:
What happened (or is continuing to happen)?
What was wrong with the action and what effect did it have?
What do you think should have happened instead?
What can be done to avoid it happening again?
The problem with prejudice is that it can get bigger if we ignore it. Often someone can come to see that they are prejudiced if you approach your questions and comments in the right way, and try to challenge people's assumptions with facts.
Even if you choose not to send your letter it is not wasted. It is a statement of how you feel about the issue and what has happened. You could show it to someone who is likely to share your concerns and see what they think. It may make you feel stronger about your own convictions, and more determined to act next time you witness prejudice.
