Time is of the essence. There is a dire need for communities to come together to solve our own problems. Our people are suffering, and our environment is being destructed each day that passes. No longer can we allow our ignorance, apathy, or laziness to come between us making a difference in our communities and in our world. Our voices and actions do make a difference, especially when we can come together as a community.
Many voices are much louder than one.
People must first be made aware of the issues, and then be invited to participate. Many of us have the desire to participate in a positive way, but feel overwhelmed and may not know where to begin. Others may feel they haven't the time to participate. I would like to take a step in de-mystifying the concept of community action. I will start by researching the issues and the multidudes of ways in which people can involve themselves.
