WHY #CommunityJustice AND Why Now?

MOVING RIGHT INTO TWENTY SEVENTEEN  CALLS FOR INTENTIONAL COLLECTIVE STRATEGY I SAY.

We are poised for a profoundly necessary time of authentic citizenship like never before. We are community and as community we need to create and maintain a mindset that calls forth our sustained active behavior as it relates to the challenges facing ALL of us in these years to come (TWENTY OR MORE OF THEM THERE YEARS).

We can NOT continue to call for EVERY ONE ELSE to be about community and YOUR cross connecting work is NOT what we see. I am NOT saying that we need to stop doing OUR INDIVIDUAL GREAT WORK BUT WE DO NEED TO BE MORE INTENTIONAL OF CONNECTING OTHER WORK THAT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE WHAT WE ARE DOING.

It is so easy and reassuring to work among folks we know. When we do that we miss a profound opportunity to embody the purest of authentic diversity. Our energy must reflect what our mouth is saying.

I do NOT need to see the words #CommunityJustice although seeing it more would be oooo so inspiring but what I think will do more for the morale of community uplift is the affirmations of young and old cross cultural and gender identity doing a consistent collective work.

What they say...."We are what we eat". With that said "We are the embodiment of what we do". Let's do what becomes more effective for the health and healing of the community,
THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY...NOT JUST THE POCKETS...

The next eighteen months I have dedicated a significant portion of my community work to focus directly on the interconnecting of what inclusion and sustainability becomes within our community.

I ask YOU to embark upon this work of CONNECTIVITY with me.

THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN GREAT INDIVIDUAL WORK DONE BY MANY AND STILL IS BEING DONE BY MANY.

OUR WORK JUST DOES NOT connect producing sustainable improvements and uplift because IF IT DID we would NOT see the violence, we would NOT see the neglect, we would NOT see the lack of jobs, we would NOT see the poor housing, AND WE CERTAINLY WOULD NOT HAVE ALLOWED the UNAFFORDABLE affordable housing.

OUR CHALLENGE AS I SEE IT IS TO CONNECT IT ACROSS SO MANY FACTIONS. 

#CommunityJustice is what I have embraced to help me re-set how I want to foster inclusion but I know what it looks like without having to see the words.

LET TWENTY SEVENTEEN REALLY BE THE YEAR WHEN MORE REGULAR CITIZENS AFFIRM THEIR HUMANITY WITH STEPPING INTO THE EMBODIMENT OF EFFECTIVE ACTIVE INTERCONNECTED CITIZENSHIP.

A friend of mine use to tell me so often that "The proof was NOT in the pudding. THE PROOF IS IN THE EATING OF THE PUDDING."

The work is and always has been AND ALWAYS WILL BE in the creating of the pathway, the apparatus and or tool we need to to build AND utilize for our quality of life existence....

Peace and Blessings
