@IveyJanette I've been posting stuff since NOV about community groups tackling those kids of issues in their local areas. Take a look at #1MExperiments online. Maybe someone in your area is looking for your help 🙂

The project is not without risk. One violence interrupter was shot but thankfully survived. https://abc7ny.com/violence-interrupter-shooting-brownsville-brooklyn/12921607/ I think I mentioned this program in #1MExperiments, nice to see it is still going. It is a great example of what it takes to re-imagine what safety can mean for each neighborhood. What does your neighborhood need to be safe? Can you help create it? 5/5

#1MExperiments has some interesting experiments dealing with food. One is Rogers Park Yard Sharing where property owners share yard space for growing food and learning environmental issues. They have a tool kit for others interested in the concept https://millionexperiments.com/projects/rogers-park-yard-sharing. Another is Plant-Grow-Share: https://thecentralneighborhood.com/plant-grow-share/ 3/7
