An economic activist community, AC Pharos provides support for small businesses, job creation, and gives a platform to activists, checking the influence of large multinational corporations in our government.
This community is a place for fostering equitable activism. Activists without the resources will be able to invest, inform the movement, discourage stigmatization of the poor, and educate others about quality of life through monetized blogging.
