RISE UP Recognize that there is a problem and that there needs to be some kind of action and change.
ORGANIZE Join a group instead of creating your own; become part of a movement.  Work with organizers in your area (or regionally, or nationally, etc.) to make a difference. Understand that organizers differ from activists in that they are accountable to a community, and they orchestrate & plan actions accordingly. 
ACT Get up. Get materials for posters, banners, and literature to distribute or bring with you to actions. Prepare.  
CREATE Make art, posters, articles, leaflets, & literature. Gayatri Spivak speaks of the notion that consciousness raising is bullshit, and that using it as a goal is a way to avoid doing the homework, thus severing your connection to the community that you ultimately need to remain accountable to. Make change.
