'Our Dream Playground' is a new online project planner designed to help you build the playground of your dreams. It's a free resource, brought to you 'KaBOOM!,' offering step-by-step instructions to help you bring play to the kids in your community.
We need to band together in solidarity. There's so many portions of our community that are under-represented. You rarely see disabled actors on movie posters or black men or Latino guys.
I want to be a voice for the thousands of women in our community who work hard, play by the rules, and still are struggling to get ahead.
From the beginning, our community has been focused on people outside of Christianity. But that emphasis means that a lot of hard work is represented in every person who is baptized.
Our compassion for one another, and our individual actions to help, is what makes our nation - and our community - great.
It's just like - you know, you read the New Testament and you read about all the things, and you think, 'Oh, that's not going on in our community.' Oh yes it is.
I feel a real responsibility to my community and so right now there has been this bizarre myth in our community how our vote doesn't count. I'm trying to get out there and re-educate on how the government works and break that myth and talk about the importance of being involved.
While we can remember the past, we cannot write the future. Only our children, the future of our community, can do that.
I would even say that my parents, and their friends in our community, thought of education as a kind of armor against racism.
When I first put my hat in the ring, several very tried and true and loyal Democratic activists from our community said, 'What? She's not a Democrat. She's a Republican.' I took that as a compliment, you know, that people didn't necessarily know what my ideology might be because I wasn't driven by that.
I just feel that getting out there physically and protecting New York, putting my arms around everyone and protecting them... to see this happen to our city and our community.
I think that food ties us to our community and our traditions, and it's the thing that makes us feel good and connected.
