What I'm noticing, is that when I plan an event that gives people something useful to do, they are psyched, and show up. This is also the case when I offer a toolkit for recreating projects in their own neighborhoods. I think this is a really great sign. It gives me hope. - ThreadSky

I think a lot of people want to do something, but don't know where to start. So if YOU know what needs to happen, & have the energy to create a space where people do it, in my experience so far this year, recruiting hands to help has been relatively easy. You just need to provide the framework.

Giving people something useful to do during a crisis is an incredible gift/ act of leadership.

I started a monthly salon at my apartment. One Sunday afternoon every month, we spend time, people share a talent, we eat, drink, sometimes people sing songs, share art pieces. We talk about survival in these times and are cutting out a little community of people committed to each other.

Hey! I've been in the events world for almost 20 years and can definitely vouch for that. Hands on experiences are the most engaging and give people a reason to go rather than to just hear people talk.

People are outraged and scared. We just need leaders!!

This is awesome to hear - you’re really good at getting people psyched! Tell your dad 🙃!

I think of this as the IKEA principle, people are way more enthusiastic and invested when they feel like they've contributed.

Trump never stopped campaigning for 10 years. His rallies gave a constant platform for his ugly ideas.

We need to do the same. Let's clear the benches.

We need every available person of good will with public speaking skills.

Speak out & stop the crazy.

It struck me how the founder of my local Indivisble group became emotional recently when thanking volunteers and attendees for coming to an empty chair town hall, because I'm so thankful for her guidance. People want to step up, but many don't know how. Providing opportunities is a valuable service.
