The resources of everyone in the community are employed instead of relying on the few ineffectual government representatives that have been chosen to represent us. Those who have more resources, time, and energy to participate are able to share with those that have less and so are empowered. People in the community who have less resources benefit from the support of the rest of the community. A real sense of community empowerment is gained by everyone who participates. We can be self-sustaining and take care of our own members.
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.
