Today I met Rusty and Sunshine, a husband and wife who, as a response to recent national division and the COVID-19 outbreak, decided to buy a home in Childersburg and create The Commons Community Workshop. Through their Fearless Communities Initiative they are building a community garden in a donated downtown lot, hosting trade days, and actively engaging the town as a means of “celebrating solidarity and strength.” Both kindhearted and gracious, Sunshine and Rusty invited me to find them on Facebook where Sunny posts Initiative announcements, vocalizes her opposition to mask wearing and vaccines, and shares her beliefs about global child sex trafficking networks, the threat of Marxism, and the coming of the end times.
