 One step forward.
What works in my community is talking to my People as MY PEOPLE. I speak to them with all my love and affection, even when meeting harsh rejection. I don't think of or come to them as stupid, unconscious, less than or anything else that I know already makes them feel alienated from me.
Knowledge is here for us All... but I know for a fact, too many of us do not feel worthy or that anything will come of them personally to take part. So I feed it.. nourish and nurture... share Me...share Us... share Love, Respect, Honor, Pride, Dignity and Power!
I give/lend books, I give/lend music, I give my time, I give my physical and spiritual/mental foods. Whatever they need and desire I give because I keep myself in overflow for Us. This is about OUR Life.. not just Me. It is a must I keep me as a Sanctuary for us all. A voice for the voiceless. A healer for the dis-eased.
Whatever I can do... I do it.. because WE and our Rising demands it. Not for thanks, not for accolades, not for kudos, not for anything but the possibility of them seeing what EYE see in them. Feel me?
All of this works and has worked for every community I've lived in thus far
