3. create your own 619
-
Create a stencil using one of the designs below (one is a negative stencil, the other is a positive stencil).
-
Buy spray chalk (often available at Dollar stores) as well as some regular chalk.
-
Sign up volunteers and assign them each area of community and numbers to do. If each person is doing 20 locations then assign as 1-20, 21 -40, etc.
-
They would use spray-chalk for stenciling on sidewalks, bike lanes, and paths on public property. Using regular chalk they would add a number and slash beside the stencil. So each one would be 1/ 619, 2/619...619/619

5. build community connections
Build community connections to help end isolation. The majority of those who died lived alone. Instead of “check-in” model, work to establish genuine ongoing connections based on interdependence, mutual respect and trust.
​
Set up mutual aid. For example, many who might be able to acquire an air conditioner might need assistance setting it up.
