Nearly every adult in the United States has a cell phone. Virtually every cell phone can send and receive texts, without wifi or 5G. They're built to connect us to the entire world, yet often isolate us further. 

We can turn this tech narrative around. Let's leverage phones' global reach to improve life for individuals nearby and foster community connections locally. We don't need a million apps to do it either. Let's use what we've got — the simple, but powerful text message.

Are you also interested in leveraging already-available technology to increase access to resources and community? (Let me know.)
