Who can participate in MYNM?
Anyone can participate, including individuals, families, community groups, and organizations. Activities can be scaled to fit any level of participation.
Do I need special materials or resources?
No special materials are needed. The zine and planning guide offer simple, flexible ideas that can be adapted to your neighborhood's needs.
What kinds of events can I plan?
Events can range from small gatherings (like porch chats or shared walks) to larger community activities (such as block parties, neighborhood cleanups, or potlucks). The planning guide includes step-by-step suggestions for organizing bigger events.
What if I'm not comfortable hosting an event?
No worries! You can still participate through low-key activities, such as:
- Saying hello to a neighbor you never met before
- Sharing baked goods (ask your neighbor about allergens first!)
- Supporting local mutual-aid efforts
- Joining an existing neighborhood event
How do I make MYNM accessible for all neighbors?
The large-text versions of the zine and planning guide can help! You can also:
- Choose locations that are easy to access
- Offer quite or small group activity options
- Be mindful of dietary, mobility, and sensory needs
Do I have to participate for the whole month?
No! Any amount of participation, whether it's one activity, one event, or multiple engagements, supports the spirit of the month.
