Group Projects
Group Projects require that everyone do their part. The Generation Common Good Movement invites folks to create group projects that are rooted in dignity, care, and belonging. The project must meet these demands to become an official Generation Common Good project:
The project must be something you currently do that you love doing
The project must be something you can do with other people across age, difference, ability, or class the best that you are able*
The project must be something that working folks of all ages can make time to do (maybe on the weekend or the evening)
The project must be based in your domain. Your domain is where you frequent
The project must fit in one of these categories however you interpret it.
Eat, Play, Enjoy, Think, Move, Rest, Share, Common Good
(For example: Akilah really to fight '“the man” so she created a a group project where she gets together with the friends she enjoys spending time with and plays silly songs making fun of billionaires in a public park. She categorized her group project as EAT because: “Eat the Rich”.)
Bombshell’s Group Project | Washington, D.C.
Bombshell Monroe (she/her) chose COMMON GOOD as the category for her group project. As a trained makeup artist she loves makeup, costume, and everything over the top. As an African American, Arab person, and queer native Washingtonian she knows that feeling beautiful about yourself is very complicated and often a struggle. Corporations have taught everybody to believe that beauty can only be their version of beauty. That shit is a lie and ANYONE can beautify themselves with a few accessible tricks. She launches pop-ups where everyone can share their personal tips and tricks. Bombshell gives some lessons, but you don’t need experts to be beautiful. You already are. Everyone is beautiful in their own way.
Elijah’s Group Project | Boston, Massachusetts
Elijah (he/him) will be starting the Generation Common Good Ultimate Frisbee on his college campus in 2026. He chose PLAY for his group project this dude loves to play (especially frisbee and the drums). He will be a freshman. Why this group project? Let Elijah tell it: Well a big reason is that it’s a spirit sport. Meaning that there’s no referees, people have to call their own fouls, figure out conflicts, and it usually creates a kind and welcoming atmosphere. I’ve been playing in this mixed league for a year ish now and I already know so many people just from this one league. The sport creates such a welcoming community and so you get to play not only a challenging (but rewarding) sport, you also meet so many nice people.
Weaver and CeCe’s Group Project | Tulsa, Oklahoma
Weaver (they/them) is a total nerd who loves LARP-ing. They are sending out the call to the folks who love to play in and embody imaginary worlds. They meet at a public park, they don’t need special equipment, and they make most of the things they need . They gather together in most seasons and work together to create intricate experiences. They chose the category MOVE because LARPing is emotionally moving in so many ways. CeCe, one of Weaver’s childhood friends loves writing and building new worlds that stretch the imagination, so she assists Weaver with writing new LARPing scripts. Let Weaver tell it: “Being able to create and support communities that are welcome while providing engaging and emotional stories that have space that encourages players to to tell their own fun stories together is what it is all about.”
