is a grassroots approach to real community engagement

and change.

Once a month, we power through a

going-to-work projects. Show up, get dirty change your clothes.

(did we mention that you are going to get dirty?)

Go back to your life and say to yourself--

WOW--I really DID something today.

but you secretly wish that the Justice League was real and that you

were on it, DIRT's for you.

It's not glamorous work, but it's the right thing to do.
