In times of crisis, we are reminded of the irreplaceable value of community–of neighbors caring for neighbors, of exercising our mutual giftedness, and everyday people taking the initiative to creatively solve problems without waiting for permission from outside authorities.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ordinary people in communities are organizing across the globe like never before to pool resources and co-creating strong structures for mutual care. Local institutions are finding creative ways to invest in and support community capacities.
The ABCD Institute hopes to nourish this groundswell with this list by welcoming everyone to help celebrate, collect and make visible such stories, tools and the growing evidence of the limitless capacity within communities and people everywhere.
