Community is found wherever and however people collect together, in places, in groups, in ideas, in hopes and in fears. Community is found in streets and neighborhoods, towns and cities and countries. It’s found in ideas and beliefs and ambitions. Together, we find strength and friendship, support and love, trust and compassion. In communities, we celebrate and we mourn. Community is what we have in common. It’s our unity. How can we create and share in a community? What’s the power of a community?
