Random Acts of Kindness
Our Purpose
The Random Acts of Kindness Working Group is interested in promoting positive change in the world through direct, positive actions.
In promoting a spirit of giving, we open our minds beyond our personal needs and into the potential needs of others. We embody the good we want to see in our world; at the same time, we directly oppose the greedy, closed-minded action that so often drives our current predatory system.
As Occupy Boston's Declaration of Occupation states, "Our goal is a society that prioritizes the needs of all before the profits of the few."
Getting Involved
- Come to a meeting! -- We just started out, and we'd love to work with you. Our next meeting is Wednesday, December 7 at 8 p.m.
- Brainstorm creative, kind actions! Some of our potential ideas include handing out free equal exchange coffee, cleaning the South Station restrooms, and organizing kindness flash-mobs. Do you have any Ideas for creative action?
- Participate in a formal action. Since we're brand new, we don't have any completed examples yet. But stay tuned, join in. it should be a lot of fun!
- Be Nice. It's that simple. As banks and massive corporate interests dehumanize us, we can work hard to rehumanize each other. Even a little smile goes a long way.
