What Can I Do?
Stand Up!
We like to say, when systems fall down, people stand up! What does that actually mean? We don’t wait for the government or anyone one else to save us. We figure it out. It can start small with mutual aid within your community, a kind gesture to a stranger, respect to our houseless neighbors. Wherever there is a sidewalk, there can be a Sidewalk Project. Start with a sandwich and a bottle of water. See where it takes you.
Make Change
It sounds simple, but you can make a big change, with a little spare change. Next time someone asks you for spare change, give it to them. A few coins for you, could be a big thing for them! Treat it as a generosity practice. What can you give today? Carry water, snacks, or clean socks in your car. The Sidewalk Project encourages the community to practice generosity rather than judgement. You can make a change!
