• Create a small volunteer committee to recommend a series of implementation steps for the town. Give the committee a modest annual budget for printed materials or posters, etc.
• Work with your school administration to bring inclusion into the classroom via art, poetry, drama, debate club, etc.
• Encourage community faith leaders in the community to guide their congregations to embrace inclusion as the human and humane way to treat our fellow citizens.
• Engage the town’s library director to develop a speaker’s series, discussion groups, reading groups, film series etc. and include students in these programs.
• Create a “concierge service” to assist new people in town or those considering a move to the town, with housing options, and the many other questions that a new arrival might have. Promote this service on your town website.
