I pledge to be Kind, to Support Local, and to do the Next Right Thing for Ventura…
By Visit Ventura
Never before has Ventura faced a stranger and more challenging time. Not that we haven’t experienced our share of difficult challenges — each time rising to that challenge. But this one is wholly unique. It requires adaptability. It requires grace under pressure. It requires the highest degree of selflessness, kindness and understanding. It requires putting aside biases and prejudices. It requires trying hard to see the world through the eyes of others. It requires remembering things we already know, but we sometimes forget. Venturans already exhibit these traits — and more. That truth is at the heart of what makes this town so special. You know the people here. You know exactly what we are talking about. Now we have to up our game. Perhaps we have to become better than we have ever been before. With that in mind, we came up with the simple Pledge that is the headline of this blog. The Ventura Pledge is not meant to be preachy. It’s not a lecture. It’s just an assemblage of what is good and kind. And, with good and kind in mind, a few other accompanying thoughts just below. How we can help each other — and our very special town — through these times. How we can support local. How we can support each other. How they are one in the same. How we will come through this shining.
