Neighborhood is where families and individuals participate together in order to meet specific social needs and to simply enjoy one another.
In order for peace to emerge more greatly in the world,
it is necessary for concrete peace and justice practices to first be lived daily within YOUR neighborhood.
Neighborhood Is . . .
Neighborhood has the potential
to facilitate safety within the neighborhood area as well as within each home;
to support financial security of households and of the neighborhood as a whole;
to support the wellbeing of households and individuals;
and to facilitate sociality and fun.
A neighborhood is a geographically contiguous area that includes approximately 50 households.
Having said that, neighborhoods vary widely. Rural neighbors may live miles apart. Apartment complexes may have greater density. Larger areas of over a thousand homes may be designated as a neighborhood.
If you want to engage and uplift your neighborhood, start with the “doors” immediately surrounding you.
