Solidarity Label Artist, Ronnie Goodman
Bring your Gratefulness practice to your dinner table:
the perfect conversation starter
This special offering contains No wine
(Seriously !)
$10 per Bottle - All to Help those in need
What is it? This wine bottle (with a cork seal and Solidarity label, “We Are: Homeless”) which may appear “empty” at first glance, is not filled with wine, but is overflowing with heart and gratitude. It is intended to be interactive but Not instructive, with each participant bringing their own experience to it, and the “Ingredient” label on the back of the bottle providing thought provoking reasons for Homelessness in America.
Bring it to a dinner party and explain… or Not. Allow others to wonder & explore on their own.
Express your compassion, empathy, and support. Fuel your Gratitude practice. Open the hearts of others.
Living w concern about Hunger/ Homelessness at 15 Yr high % in US, even up to $75 K in income
Gallup, in their 2017 poll, remarked "Concern about Hunger and Homelessness at a High among US adults."
"Overall, 47% of Americans now worry about hunger and homelessness 'a great deal' " they reported.
It is inconceivable in the richest country on Earth. Or should be...
In 2021, the fear of homelessness among families continues to grow. “The number of Americans who are homeless has increased in each of the past five years…a quarter of Americans now report being at ‘imminent risk’ of losing their homes” says the Washington Post 6’21 in “The Mansion on Emerson Street"

“Local governments routinely violate the law to move unhoused people out of sight.” Stop the Sweeps campaign.
We need to use our organizing to support meaningful legislation to restore federal funding of affordable housing (such as Rep. Ilhan Omar’s H.R. 5244: Homes for All Act of 2019) at the federal level, and the Right to Rest Act at the state or local level to stop the criminalization of community members”
See NYTimes, “You Want to Feed the Hungry? Lovely. Let’s See Your Permit, ” 11/’18
”volunteers have been arrested after feeding the homeless.”
Please thank your retailer for their support of the unorthodox, and Please share your thoughts on the "wine".
(If this is my highest rated wine per reviews on taste, I'll be pissed... ;) )
