Our 5 community values: What do you think?

Today at 11 am, I stopped working for a few minutes to participate in the Moment of Silence for the victims in Tucson Arizona.


As I paused, I thought about the millions of people around our nation who were also participating. I got the chills. 


I wondered who the other people were, where they lived, how they were effected by the tragedy, and what values we have in common.


This experience made me think it would be helpful that as a…

Please Support Families from Nov. 21 Violence

Dear all,

 

When Johnnel Cruz, Ariel Dume, and Winzisky Soto passed away in November, many Jamaica Plain residents responded quickly to hold events, vigils, and meetings, as well as support Same Old Place.

 

Since then, a number of young adults, youth workers, and community supporters have continued working to channel tragedy into something positive and working to stop future violence from occurring. Part of this work is continuing to support the families involved,…

I don't have words that even begin to express the gratitude I feel to the Neighbors for Neighbors Community. Thank you to everyone who helped donate and made this party possible!

The Life May Be Underground

Winter in New England is a wonderful and challenging season.  It's brisk and can be bone chilling. Sometimes you have to screw your  "courage" and energy together just to go outside.  It can be a season of contrasts; it can be dark and stark outside, yet cozy and warm inside.

Dress Rehearsal

Have you ever been to a child's play practices? They can be a torturous experience. You can't help but wonder whether anyone is paying attention let alone whether they will ever be able to learn their roles. Chaos reigns until the day of dress rehearsal.
