Fact Sheets

The purpose of SWS social activism fact sheets is to aid people in the streets and trenches of our communities educating and working for social justice. The fact sheets are developed by SWS members who receive a small honorarium from the SWS Social Activism Committee (see Awards information.)

We are interested in knowing how you are putting facts sheets to use for you. To share your comments, please click here.
