G Adventures’ Post

I believe it is time to review my paper with Patrick Bixler, Dr. Vedlitz at Texas A&M University - The Bush School of Government and Public Service, William Brown, published in early 2024. This paper presents examples of emergency situations in Texas, similar to the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl that we are currently experiencing. Houstonians are facing significant outages, and marginalized populations are more severely impacted by the resulting damages and extreme weather. In this context, the role of nonprofits in enhancing community resilience is becoming increasingly important. This paper offers insights that may inform the development of community resilience policies. https://lnkd.in/guATXvxR

SATURDAY MORNING (JUNE 29TH) at 9:30 AM our amazing Who I Am Foundation volunteers in #Albuquerque will be having our next Community Clean-Up (ABQ)! For this Community Clean-Up our volunteers will be meeting up at and cleaning Los Altos Park, located at 10100 Lomas Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87112 (Meet-Up will be in the parking lot off Eubank next to Sonic) Youth participation is strongly encouraged, so children are welcome to join! NO OPEN-TOED SHOES Cleaning up loose trash is one of the best ways to pitch in for your community and the environment. Volunteering as a means to help conserve and protect the environment has a lot of upsides. Of course, the first is that you’ll be taking care of our planet, and it badly needs a little love given the myriad ways in which we’ve become adept at destroying it. But beyond that, volunteering for a cause you care about is a great way to meet like-minded people, make friends, and pull yourself out of the blues that sometimes accompany caring a lot about something important – especially if you feel alone in your endeavors. None of us like the sight of litter. Litter spoils the look of where we live but that’s not the only reason for picking up litter. There are a number of benefits from picking up litter that you may not have considered before. Volunteer-led projects such as these are one of the quickest, simplest, and least expensive ways to inspire more community spirit and civic action. A visually appealing community increases property values, attracts businesses, and improves the neighborhood's image. Beauty is one of the three most influential factors in community attachment, which means loyalty, to your particular town or city. Some research even shows that a nice-looking neighborhood promotes good behavior. Join us in keeping your community clean!

As we RRR, 2023 LP Fellows Anna Parisi and M. Silin encourage us to think deeply about how we can honor the land we’re on and connect with the communities we’re in. How can we practice abundance and preservation through land stewardship and community care? To investigate this, we must turn to our history of honoring, beautifying, and protecting the land we occupy; a history that runs deep across Black and Brown communities in Bed-Stuy. Join us as we open up land. zine #1: The Anti-Capitalist Approach to A Self-Sufficient Bed-Stuy: Lenape Stewardship As A Model for Black and Brown People, created by Anna Parisi and M. Silin: “Today, abundance and communal care in Bed-Stuy might look like fully stocked community fridges, well-resourced mutual aid organizations, food pantries, etc., which feed entire families and communities. The understanding and spirit of abundance is evident in these public spaces – there is enough for everyone if we share resources and believe in solidarity over charity, abundance over capitalism.” Think & Reflect: Bed-Stuy can be self-sufficient. How?
