I look at a lot of community that hasn't been fostered yet.
The way that I look at that kid who's like tall and could dunk, but no one's told him to dunk yet.
They're like, you're almost there.
You're almost at the rim.
Just a little jump.
Just a small jump, you know?
And so what we do is in every city,
we do our best to partner with a local outreach in that city.
So then that way, the people coming to the show can see something that's already happening because it is difficult to set up that sort of mutual aid and support
general community around fixing a problem all by yourself.
And that's what a lot of people think is happening.
But there are pantries, there are shelters, there are all these different places that are all around you that you may just not know about because they don't have the best social media presence or they aren't being hyped up enough by people who aren't directly involved in the organization.
And it might be a small team that can only do so much and they're trying to do the work.
And so we partner with these groups and
They come to the show and then that way people coming to the show can see something that's happening in their community already that they could either be a part of through volunteering or they can donate to.
And all of it becomes like actionable change, even if it's something that you do once.
Maybe you bring a backpack because we've partnered with this organization in Portland for school supplies and now a kid has that backpack.
So it's something that will at least is the hope have a lasting impression through this small effort.
You're already coming to the show, you know?
Sure, sure.
