“My mom always taught me to give! A small gesture can make a big difference to someone else. You never know what others are going through and how giving back can impact their lives,” said DoSomething member David R., 18.

“It's important to me because homelessness and poverty have always been prevalent in the community, however, during the start and continuation of the pandemic, these issues were worsened and there were many people that were affected by the pandemic. Being able to help in whatever way I can assures me that someone cares about these people and is taking steps to help them,” said DoSomething member Temilade O.,17. “It is also a source of comfort and joy to the people we are helping.”

“This campaign is important to me because I want to do everything I can to keep our Earth safe. Recycling prevents how much is in our landfill and can make a big impact on the goodness of our world,” said DoSomething member Anna C., 16.

 

Join David, Temilade, and Anna and sign up to make an impact today!

Let’s talk about…  ✨The Oscars!✨ Ariana DeBose became the first openly queer woman of color to win Best Supporting Actress and Troy Kotsur became the first deaf man to win an Oscar! What a win for representation!  

 

Today we are inspired by… Shalanda Young! She recently became the first Black woman to hold the position of Director of the White House Office of Management and Budget! 

 

The power of community… is incredible! A digital community who call themselves the Governerds have raised over $4.2 million to help forgive medical debts, give grants to teachers, support Ukraine, and more! THIS is a great example of building a Beloved Community!
