OPINION — If there’s one thing our communities have learned in recent years, it’s that stability can feel fragile. The world is full of uncertainty socially, economically, politically and emotionally. Communities can feel divided, neighbors can feel isolated and too many vulnerable families are trying to keep it together with limited support.
But the one unchanging truth is when the world feels dark, there is always an opportunity to seek, and in some cases become, the light. Deep down, people are good and when we come together, there is power.
Not every problem needs to be addressed with a public outcry. Right now, one of the boldest ways to advocate for your community is to take a greater interest in it. When we choose to look up from our screens or our worries and reach toward a neighbor in need, we repair a little of what feels broken.
