What if a novel strain of #CoronaKindness infected #humanKIND during the quarantine? A kindness not inoculated by mistrust and cynicism.
What if #HopeAndHealing were as infectious as COVID-19?
What if we #ConquerCorona because #KindnessBeatsTheVirus?
Last week, our own Lymarie Monzon, Sydney Tirado, and Jeremy Del Rio joined five public school students gathered in our offices with Thrive Collective teaching artist Jon Souza and street art legend Toofly to imagine what such a world might look like. How might the world be different than it was a week ago if we #InfectKindness?
What if students, mentors, #artivists and artist friends everywhere used this time of #SocialDistancing to #IsolateToCreate and imagine together?
We are asking you to join our #KindnessBeatsTheVirus Challenge. Shared trauma creates opportunities for shared healing.
Help Kindness go viral with your own iconic artwork: drawings, emojis, paintings, photos, videos, songs, stories, whatever. Post on social media and tag @nycthrive and #KindnessBeatsTheVirus.
Let’s #BringArtBack to help eradicate loneliness and isolation now and always.

What Makes us Human?
Meet some of the architects of #KindnessBeatsTheVirus, artist Toofly and students Sydney, Lymarie, and Edmond. They describe their inspiration, their “why,” like this: “All the things we are afraid to do are the things that make us human. We are trying to bring that humanity back, and give people hope.”

Hi I’m very interested in finding a church to join and I amazing (lol sorry. I am not perfect but He did make me kind loving warm smart hardworking etc). I am in a severe storm though because I’m a new follower of Jesus (7 years) and so much evil around me/in my life. A simple story but I think new (??) and I think we will be seeing SO MANY of these testimonies in the very near future!
