ONE SMALL STEP

Now, in a global shutdown, take this moment to think about neighborliness and educate yourself about what you want to change when things open up. Start by reading or following social media accounts.

Look at your church, your parks, your schools, your neighborhood. Does everyone look like you, act like you, vote like you? Try to change one of those things.
