This document introduces the concept of "People Doing Things", a group of individuals who want to work together to address social problems like poverty, homelessness, and pollution by taking small actions and motivating each other to create change, rather than feeling powerless. The group aims to build community, reduce loneliness and despair, decrease poverty, and protect the environment by informing and encouraging one another on actions they can take together.
