Our cross-sector ALF network was made for moments like this when our community urgently needs collaboration across sectors, relationships and shared resources to address inequities, and leadership for the common good! We are all dealing with the unexpected impact of Covid-19 and have set up a page for Senior / Fellows that either need or want to help. We will be updating this regularly. If you would like to add / update information, please contact Akemi@alfsv.org.
“So, while everyone is practicing social distancing, perhaps we should also make this a time of practicing social reassurance. Even though we’re physically distancing, what if we each found ways to cut the emotional distance? What if each of us radically changed how we view those who are different from us? Instead of shutting our neighbors out, imagine if we called them up to say hello. What if we gathered up some of that food we grabbed off the grocery store shelves and shared it with someone who couldn’t afford to panic shop? What if we each dug into our interior selves and radically shifted old beliefs that have only added to our divide? What if our radical change in behavior involved all of us actually working together to mend our divide?”
