A Special Call to Action:
Start a Neighborhood or Community “Compassion Watch”! **
We already have the “Neighborhood Crime Watch” system. Let’s create a force for good with a “Compassion Watch”!
Your “neighborhood” or “community” can be a street neighborhood, a class or school, a particular area of Austin, a community group or organization or place of business, etc.
Steps you can take:
- It just takes you to start the process. Make a point of noticing compassionate action (caring for others, self, and the Earth) in your neighborhood/community.
- Write a simple thank you note for the action and give it to the person or group who you see doing a compassionate action. Or, express your thanks in another way.
- Bring this Compassion Watch activity to the attention of your Neighborhood/Community group – see if they will post info about the Compassion Watch in the Neigborhood/Community group newsletter or in an email communication and invite people to participate. Perhaps a section of the Newsletter can highlight compassion actions that people report.
- Brainstorm other ways to highlight and celebrate compassionate action in your neighborhood/community.
- Take children/youth on a Compassion Watch field trip in Austin. Bring along notes of gratitude. As you visit part of the Austin community, ask the youth to notice any compassionate efforts/actions they see. They can then hand out the notes of gratitude to people.
**If you do a “Compassion Watch,” be sure to let Compassionate Austin know! Just email us a quick note at compassionateaustin@gmail.com or share via the Contact Form below.
