I'm thrilled to see you highlight Community Renewal International in your first issue! And beyond proud to be a team member growing this work in the DC Capital area. I do want to highlight that CRI doesn't only work in the neighborhoods of our friends trapped in high-crime, high poverty neighborhoods --- but all of us. Even those in 'gated' communities suffer from fragmentation and isolation. And until the entire ecosystem of our society is connected in love and care there is no possibility for systemic change. So CRI is best thought of as the soil in which the tree roots grow referenced in the NYTimes article above. We have to work on the soil in which ALL people grow and relate. From there our world will transform and we will evolve into a a human family. Thanks SO much for what you are doing! Looking forward to seeing where this newsletter and all its wisdom takes us!
