Caremongering

Our friends to the north in Canada have coined a term that I hope gains traction everywhere. Caremonging. Caremongering is compassion in action. Caremongering is strangers helping strangers, it's getting food and other essentials to vulnerable people, it's asking a neighbor if they need anything from the store or pharmacy when you're going anyway. Caremongering empowers us to take action at a time when it's easy to feel overwhelmed and powerless.
