Tell Us Your Good Deed:
Supported local farming communities in Massachusetts.
Why are you participating?:
Because there's no such thing as an "evil" person, even those who hurt others are complex.
Sara
Worcester, MA
United States
Tell Us Your Good Deed:
I "tithe" - give 10% of my income to charities that feed poor people, take care of abandoned animals, and help disabled people with needed equipment.
Why are you participating?:
All human beings are G-d's image; the most important teaching of my religion.
Jess

Tell Us Your Good Deed:
I volunteered with an organization called Horizons for Homeless Children and am co-director of a club at Clark University called Youth Outreach Worcester -- we visit local high schools and facilitate classes on identity development and social justice.
Why are you participating?:
It's taken me a long time to learn that how others see you does not define you.
Rebecca
Tell Us Your Good Deed:
I started a Pride club at the school where I work.
Elyana
Tell Us Your Good Deed:
During the heatwave this summer, I made sure to have water, Powerade and protein bars for the folks in our community experiencing homelessness.
Why are you participating?:
Being Jewish and queer means a lot of people decide who I am before meeting or talking to me and I'm more than the amazing identities I was born with!

Dani
Tell Us Your Good Deed:
I was the crazy cat lady in the neighborhood. Had spare kittens? I took them and vaccinated them and spayed them. Had annoying strays? I took them in and socialized them until they were ready for adoption. Those that were feral and weren't able to be adopted, I fed and watered and took to the vet as needed.
Why are you participating?:
I thought this was a really neat way to say behind the labels we are all just people doing the best we can for ourselves and our fellow beings on this Earth. I'm a radical, and part of the radicalness I aim to achieve are radical acts of kindness that go beyond what a person expects.

Tell Us Your Good Deed:
I've been a mitzvah clown and visited hospitals and old age homes to bring people going through difficult times some form of joy and escape.
Why are you participating?:
I think it's important that people feel like they are allowed to be themselves.
