Community Activism & Advocacy

Author Sine Boe's Community Activism & Advocacy

Author Sine Boe is passionate about helping others and using her voice for good. She shines a light on history and inequality and puts the spotlight on local causes, businesses, individuals, and organizations through her community news site the St. Augustine Connection. 

She is also active in her local community through advocacy, volunteering, fundraising, and organizing events that support the causes she believes in. 

Her entire family is dedicated to protecting nature and the environment, and on MLK Day they bring it all together by co-hosting an annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service community and cemetery cleanup event partnering with local organizations, schools, and businesses. The event draws people together from all over Northeast Florida, and it culminates with the participants joining the annual MLK Day march in downtown St. Augustine, Florida.

Sine Boe is also committed to helping other authors, and she connects authors and book lovers through Facebook groups and on her social media channels.
