The final lessons in this section of the Standing Up for Democracy unit ask class members to consider ways they can help create a "more humane, fair, and compassionate environment" in their communities. For context, learners study how community members became involved in England's 1936 Battle of Cable Street and the 1963 Bristol Bus Boycott. In a reflective journal, class members consider how they could work with others to stand against discrimination and racism.
