RE: For Crying Out Loud, Poor Shaming Won't Fix Hunger

in #politics7 years ago

I feel that a resurgence of supportive communities could help with poverty. Sadly we have been torn apart and barely even know the people on our streets any more.

However, the internet is becoming a great tool for connecting us again with initiatives where people are starting to grow and share food, start community gardens and grow in the verges.

Instead of making others feel ashamed, we can be showing them they needn't be and listening to each other's stories.

Sort:  

Gosh, I know I chat more with connections online than I do with my neighbors. Some community support projects are fantastic, but they aren't everywhere.

Ditto! It doesn't help that I'm awkward face to face with most people!
