But ... is this neighborhood uprising really warranted -- or helpful? Believe me, I understand money problems. I just wonder whether it'd be better to put Ray in touch with a social-services organization who can get his Social Security, get him on his feet and exert all this effort for something else. Maybe I'm wrong. Like I said, I don't want to be mean. I'm curious what other people think...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-77466084586961643902010-02-12T18:32:29.052-05:002010-02-12T18:32:29.052-05:00Some of these kids got together because of NY2NO h...Some of these kids got together because of NY2NO http://www.ny2no.org/, which is a project that is 100% run by teenagers who have organized dozens of groups that have gone to New Orleans during school vacations to help out in the aftermath of Katrina. They planted trees, did demolition, rebuilt houses and spent time canvassing the 9th ward to find out what exactly it is the residents need. It was a powerful experience for all of them, taught them how to organize in a structured and intelligent way, and that just a few people working together can make a big difference, which is the lesson every seasoned activist knows well.Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04362859175287085919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-22207703370308694262010-02-12T14:50:05.730-05:002010-02-12T14:50:05.730-05:00You guys are so silly..
