Social Action
The Political Awareness and Involvement Thrust is realized through Social Action within the organization. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. has been involved in “social action” almost since its inception. On March 3, 1913, nearly six weeks after its founding, the Founders marched in the historic Suffragist March under the Delta Sigma Theta banner, the first public act of the Sorority.
The Social Action Committee promotes leadership, advocacy, and empowerment to effect social change and public policy. We are the vehicle through which the Sorority establishes a position on an emerging or perennial public issue, determines the action to be taken, and directs the efforts of our members. The committee implements projects and programs that stimulate social action and educate members and the community on current issues.
social action committee goals:
- To keep the community informed of current local and national issues to be influential citizens and advocates;
- To encourage political awareness and participation in events, issues, and concerns of the African American community.
- To foster increased elections or appointments of African Americans, especially women, in governmental policy-making positions, nationally and locally.
- To develop an appreciation within the African American community of its influence, especially among its women;
- To encourage endorsement of legislation, national and local, with particular interest to African Americans and women;
To be knowledgeable of the accomplishments or inaction by local judicial and administrative agencies and officials;
To volunteer as leaders in civic and social action organizations.
