--When volunteers set up a food distribution network to ensure everyone has access to nutritious meals.

--When a group forms a collective to babysit each others children for free.

--When residents create a community garden where everyone can grow and share fresh produce.

--When drivers create a ride-sharing program to help people get to medical appointments.

--When workers establish a communal fund to help cover living expenses while they go on strike.

--When a network of people offers skill-sharing workshops to teach each other valuable knowledge.
