Activity Listings & Selection Table
What Is a Listing?
A listing is how you turn your activities into action and progress.
It’s your way of saying:
“Here’s something that matters. Who wants to help?”
Whether it’s a bold idea, a burning frustration, a local problem, or a call for support — every listing is a signal to the world. It lets others understand what you care about, and gives them the chance to join forces with you.
You don’t need to be perfect, polished, or even certain.
You just need to post what’s real.
Why Listings Matter
Every big shift starts small — with a listing.
And the more you post, the more change becomes possible.

How Listings Work on Ideas-Shared
You choose a listing type based on what you’re trying to do:
✅ Create Awareness
⛔ Stop Something Harmful
🌱 Co-Create Something New
Each listing is visible to the Ideas-Shared community. As people engage, your listing gains momentum — rising up the Top 100, attracting allies, and unlocking the steps needed to reach results.
Think of it like lighting a beacon — then building a team to respond.
