Airdronian Suze Casey is trying to create a positive community with her new movement called Elbows Linked.
According to her, she got the idea from the elbows up movement, but wanted to make it more positive.
"Elbows up is a fighting stance, and it's also used in a way of negative connotation. Do we really need to fight, or do we need to stand together? Could we not find what's common and link our elbows and stand together?"
She has created an online platform (accounts on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube), including a website, and she hopes people are willing to share positive thoughts.
"Anything that just would uplift rather than push down, anything that calls to connecting rather than divisiveness, anything that looks at commonalities rather than the polarization that we've been experiencing."
She explained that people seem to like the idea of Elbows Linked; it is just a matter of the movement growing.
"What does it mean to be a good human? What does it mean to be a good person? And when we focus on that, we all have some pretty common interests, and so looking at what brings us together rather than what tears us apart."
She also explained that the movement is not political at all. She went on to talk about her goals for Elbows Linked
"It's just a place to have a repository of things that are supportive, that are non-partisan, non-political, just about being good people."
She concluded by saying it seems that there is a lot less kindness in the world right now, and right now is a good time to find that kindness and bring it back.
