I will connect with my community by meeting 2 new neighbor(s) this week.

I will watch or read the news each day this week with a specific focus on peace, justice, and/or sustainability issues and happenings.

I will spend 60 minutes watching a movie about a peace, justice, or sustainability issue I would like to know more about.

I will meditate or create a moment of silence for 10 minutes this week to reflect on the systems I am a part of and my role in them.

I will find out what local sustainability issues are most urgent in my region, including both social and environmental justice concerns.

I will volunteer 2 hours this week to help refugees or others affected by violence to feel more comfortable or get the resources they need in my community.

I will keep a journal of all my purchases this week and research their impact on conflicts and social justice.

I will write 1 letter(s) or email(s) this week to a public official or company to advocate for nonviolent and peacemaking policies.

Racial inequity is both a sustainability and justice problem. I will support businesses owned by people of color in my community whenever I shop.

I will use the resource links provided and spend 60 minutes learning about the native populations that lived in my area prior to colonization, and what I can do to support those that still exist.

I will sign up for an Anti-Racist, Anti-Bias Training and encourage my friends and colleagues to join me.

I will work for peace, justice, and/or sustainability by volunteering 2 hour(s) in my community.

I will use the communication methods I read about this week to practice effective, compassionate, and nonviolent communication with someone I interact with regularly: my roommate, my parents, my co-work, my partner, my classmates, or my children.

I will tell 1 people why peace, justice, and sustainability is important to me and what my vision for a sustainable world is.

This week, I will practice intentionally listening to 2 people I disagree with or do not share common experience with.

I will spend 30 minutes researching environmental justice concerns in my region, their causes, and local initiatives to address these concerns.

I will create or support a sharing economy with family, friends, and neighbors.

This week, I will attend one local event or meeting concerning a current issue in my community such as a planning meeting, a town hall, or a training on taking action.
