As events unfolded in Boston last week, Mayor Thomas Menino spoke of the compassion he saw in the local community in the wake of the bombings:
“Here, we know our neighbors. We grieve for them.”
There’s a push to make this Saturday “Neighbor Day.” The campaign started here in the US and began long before the Boston bombings. But perhaps now “Neighbor Day” demands closer attention?
We’d love you to tell us about your neighbors. How well do you know them? Do we still care as much about the folks next door? Why does it matter?
Our coverage reaches millions each week, but only a small fraction of listeners contribute to sustain our program. We still need 224 more people to donate $100 or $10/monthly to unlock our $67,000 match. Will you help us get there today?
