WakeNotWoke · Wake Your Block
Goal: a safe block where neighbors know and help each other.
Wake Your Block.
Your block is the smallest unit of self-government. Neighbors who know each other keep each other safe.
Your social apps and AI assistants (Grok, Gemini and others) already help organize your life. Wake plugs into them, not replaces them, for a $4.99 monthly donation for access.
Our purpose
Wake Your Block is about neighborhoods: knowing your neighbors, meeting as a block, keeping it safe and organizing around the issues you can see from your front door.
Core principles
- Know your neighbors.A block of strangers is fragile. Names and phone numbers are the first safety plan.
- Safety is shared work.Lighting, watch groups and quick reporting prevent more harm than any slogan.
- Fix what you can see.Potholes, broken lights, overgrown lots: report them, follow up, and track the result.
- Facts before rumors.Check what actually happened before the group chat decides.
- Welcome everyone who shows up.A good block works for every neighbor willing to help.
Who it's for
Neighbors, block captains, renters and owners who want a safer, better-kept block.
