This is the way.
Start small, in whatever way you can. Act locally. Don’t be afraid to fail. Learn from mistakes. No need to ask permission.

I worked bigger when I was younger and abled.
But again just did it.
People forget that most of the people doing the hardest work these days don't really use social media at all.
When I think back, in my life, to the people that made a difference. It is mostly the quite ones. The people that do things. The librarian made sure I had a safe place to read. The delicatessen owner, who gave me sandwiches when I was hungry. The detox nurse who did not shy away from my body kicking heroin. The neighbors who check up on me if they haven't seen me for 24 hours..
We Be The Humans.

My mom.
People just do it.
No photo ops.
No hollering.
Just - help.

What do I do?
I concentrate my efforts on making sure that people have food, because it's what I can do at this point in my life with my disability.
I can't volunteer at a food bank on site.
I can't work a soup kitchen.
But I can make sure that people have food. Cash donations. Goods donations.
I don't bleat about it. I just do it.
