A friend of mine runs an organization that advocates for smaller families, alternative family structures, and focusing resources on those children facing the most challenges for no fault of their own. Lately they have been advocating for “climate reparations” (direct payments) to mothers in regions most affected by climate change: https://fairstartmovement.org/
This: 'And maybe these seismic, systemic changes need to happen first within smaller communities to demonstrate success, and set examples that gain traction for others to follow. Some of the most promising examples I’ve seen on both issues have been ones that involved and transformed entire communities.'
I've picked up a few examples in the UK where local communities have supported and helped residents. Each is different because it's tailored to that specific community. While I hope system-changes happen I've more faith in individuals actioning empathy faster.
