For this Many Hands, September 2025, the topic was Helping. A word meant to provoke a conversation about what the word means, and what it asks us to do. And whether or not it’s the right verb needed in this moment, or…do we actually need to serve, not help. In the new world we’re living in, wherein meaningless words shared from the powerful few can shift hoards of humans toward divisive actions that damage democracy, semantics matter. What we mean by one word – and what that word means to the many, matters. To help or to serve. Breanne Armbrust, the Executive Director of the Neighborhood Resource Center – a nonprofit that serves the Greater Fulton Community in Richmond, Virginia helps us to decide. www.manyhandslive.org
What is Many Hands Live?
Many Hands Live, a podcast that captures the conversations convened on the first Friday of every month in the Richmond region of Virginia — when community gathers around a common belief that the future is a group project, and the long arc of history doesn’t bend itself. It takes Many Hands.
