First of All

Turn off your TV
Leave your house


Know your neighbours
Greet people


Look up when you'r walking
Sit on your stoop


Plant flowers
Use your library


Buy from local merchants
Play together



Share what you have
Help a Lost dog


Take children to the park
Honour elders


Support neighbourhood schools
Have pot lucks


Fix it even if you didn't break it
Garden together


Pick up litter
Read stories aloud


Dance in the street
Talk to the mail carrier


Listen to the birds
Put up a swing


Help carry something heavy
Barter for your goods


State a tradition
Ask questions


Hire young people for good jobs
Open your shades


Organaize a block partty
Bake extra and share


Ask for help when you need it
Sing together







Share your skills
Take back the night


Turn up the music
Turn down the music


Listen before you react to anger
Mediate a conflict


Seek to understand
Learn from new and uncomfortable angles


Know that no One is silent
though many are not heard


eventually
