"Clean It Up" is not just a single action, but rather a fundamental pillar within our comprehensive movement. It is dedicated to reshaping towns into more compassionate and equitable environments. We recognize that while making an impact on our physical surroundings is essential, the true transformation comes when also cleaning up our mindsets, behaviors, and institutional frameworks.
Our movement is multifaceted; aimed at nurturing empathy, fostering awareness, and promoting positive change within individuals and our communities. By addressing these core elements, we strive to encourage environments where everyone can flourish and thrive, regardless of background or circumstance.
We believe figuratively and literally, cleaning up and preserving the beauty of our communities for present and future generations is imperative. We are committed to tackling environmental degradation to nurture cleaner, healthier communities. Our natural landscapes, from forests to beaches and urban areas, are essential for biodiversity and ecosystem health. By cleaning up and reducing pollution, we protect wildlife habitats and promote more sustainable practices.
We raise awareness about the importance of environmental conservation and advocate for policies and initiatives that promote clean communities and sustainable practices. We are not operating in isolation - but are part of a broader collective endeavor to redefine the narrative of American history.
We also encourage volunteering, sports and recreation, the arts, and we advocate for mental health and consumer rights.
Our organization, founded by Executive Director Ron Wieners, is currently working on projects in Westerly RI and Agawam MA. We aim to expand nationwide. Your community could be next!
