WHAT ARE ACTS OF JOYFUL REVOLUTION?
Step 1: Identify PAIN POINTS in your city (ideas: housing, transportation, hunger)
Step 2: Identify a solution YOU CAN DO
Step 3: JOYFULLY DO THAT
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. Let’s take action ourselves. Cook extra and take a meal to your neighbor in need. Sit on the porch with an elder. Hang out and listen to some young folks. Come together and build a bus stop, Put a bench in your front yard for the neighborhood to enjoy. Create a garden that overlaps property lines and work together to tend it and share its bounty. Carpool with your community -- utilize the car sharing apps online. Launch a local Currency. Opt into cooperative health care outside the traditional system. Barter for services - healthcare, food, babysitting, chores, maintenance. Stop Shopping. Potluck for Power (connect & empower). Utilize your extra bedroom for an elder or struggling student. Whatever we do, let us be intentional in our investments of resources and time. There are so many ways we can joyfully revolt in our daily lives. DO IT -- and let us know about it #JoyfulRevolution
The Joyful rEvolution is driven by people united to honor the sanctity and interconnectivity of everything on this planet. We oppose the commodification of the Earth by challenging archaic notions that lead to ecological disaster and advance racism, sexism, classism, ageism, and all “othering” methodologies. We are possibilitarians, inspired by poets, artists, philosophers, spiritual visionaries and leaders who joyfully serve our planet. All are welcome. The time is now!
