How can you express your American creed through action prompt response?

There are a handful of ways I can express my American Creed through action in my community that can help unite our city together. One thing I have done in the past to help my community is travel to downtown Cleveland and pass out McDonalds cheeseburgers to homeless people to help their hunger. As well as passing out food my friends and I through Destination Imagination have helped a refugee family from Serbia by giving them food, clothes, and gift cards for grocery stores. We did this because Lakewood, a neighboring city, is one of the highest populated cities in America with refugees and we wanted to help their transition to America. Something I would like to accomplish in my community/throughout Ohio in the future that shows the American Creed is for people to be judged less for their race or religion. Just recently the Lake Catholic lacrosse team drew swastikas on their legs because the team they were playing were predominantly Jewish. This should not be a thing in the 21st century in America and I believe everyone should be treated equally. Lastly, something else that can be done in our community to demonstrate American Creed is a club at Bay High where kids can share their family stories of how they came to America. In conclusion, there are a ton of ways to help demonstrate American Creed through action in my community.
