Build Neighborhood Trust

Purpose:  

• To get to know our neighbors. 

• Engage neighbors to protect democracy. 

• Build cohesion to help us face upcoming challenges together.

Guidelines for Neighborhood Meetings:

Get to know each other better.  Start with a check-in. Allow 2-3 minutes/person, name, your main concern right now, and what gives you hope. Let each person be hear.

Additional possible questions:

• What are you already doing, as an individual or with a group? 

• What are some actions we might consider doing as a group? (See webpage ENGAGE)

• What might we want to research?

Next Steps to Consider

• How often & when to meet?

• Are some Zoom meetings an option? 

• Do you want to have food?

The goal is to spend as much time as you can at the intersection of these 3 circles.  See TED talk by climate scientist Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson
