One Strong Hive Community
On June 21, 2020 the One Strong Community is created by @boycharlieplays as a Hive blockchain community that will aim to uplift our members (especially our youth) through active engagement in our programming online and in real life.
Mission
The mission of the One Strong Community group is to shape our society as a unified force for building an open community to all its members and leaders in all endeavors of life.
We wish to encourage users to post on the Hive blockchain to share experiences and knowledge from all walks of life. One strong wants to give communities the ability to support one another through social media funding established in a community forum.
We create short and long term initiatives led by our departments(Business and Investing, STEM, Community and Law, and Health Sciences.) To create a stronger network of creators, entrepreneurs and citizens we curate and navigate each others work to continue the support of our chain of ideas.
We want to empower members actions and the use of the Hive Blockchain in our everyday society to better unify our community.
Through the use of the Hive Blockchain we will provide support to our local city funding in Chicopee. Like Bitcoin, Hive is a tradable asset that is obtained when a user creates content, upvotes content, or purchases outright through the market utilizing cryptocurrency exchanges.

What is Hive?
Hive has redefined social media by building a living, breathing, and growing social economy - a community where users are rewarded for sharing their voice. It's a new kind of attention economy. (Source: Hive FAQ)
We will form a responsible relationship with online content creating and encouraging One Strong members to utilize our resources appropriately and respectfully to improve others and themselves as a member of society.
Does it cost anything to post, comment, or vote?
No. It is free to post, comment, and vote on content on hive.blog. You might even get paid for it!
Can I earn digital tokens on Hive? How?
You can earn digital tokens on Hive by:
Posting
By sharing your posts, you can earn upvotes from community members. Depending on the upvotes you receive, you may get a portion of the "rewards pool".
Voting and curating
If you discover a post and upvote it before it becomes popular, you can earn a curation reward. The reward amount will depend on the amount of Hive Power you have.
Purchasing
Users can purchase Hive or Hive Dollar tokens directly through their Hive wallet using bitcoin, Ether, or BitShares tokens. They are also available from other markets and exchanges including BlockTrades and Ionomy.
Vesting
HIVE tokens that are powered up to Hive Power will earn a small amount of new tokens for holding.
Where do the tokens come from?
The Hive network continually creates new digital tokens to reward content creators and curators. Some of the newly-created tokens are transferred to users who add value to Hive by posting, commenting, and voting on other people's posts. The remainder is distributed to holders of Hive Power and the witnesses that power the blockchain.
Where does the value come from?
At its root, Hive is simply a points system. However, because this points system is blockchain-based, the points can be traded on markets as tokens. People buy and sell these tokens, and many hold in anticipation of increased purchasing power for various Hive-related services.
By analogy, Hive is a game system where users compete for attention and rewards by bringing content and adding value to the platform. The rewards people earn are tokens that have market value and are readily tradable. It is similar to how someone playing a video game could obtain a limited item or currency by playing the game. If the currency or items are transferable between users, then they can sell or buy them on game item markets.
Current Action in Chicopee led by Charles Laboy
This summer the mission of the One Strong Program will be to finally establish our articles of incorporation in a Chicopee Chapter of the program led by Charles "Charlie" Laboy our founder and establishing director. The first goal of our Chicopee Chapter will be to take the place of the Community Police Centers and establish a network of One Strong Centers. We will have our members who are trained in different avenues to service as leaders alongside members of our community.
By establishing our office in the center of Chicopee we hope to build relations with the larger community and develop bonds with the businesses and maintain professional conversations with local people, politicians, and business owners to ensure that our One Strong initiatives are approved.
Every two weeks we will host a Zoom Meeting Event that is open to the public with plans of our next actions for lifting our community, establishing more allies and members to the network, and providing funding for different city projects, businesses, and unions as a donation in Hive.
Charles plans to present the first established One Strong Chapter in Chicopee as a way to connect with our City Council, Chicopee Education Association and Out of School Time Programs with funding through the investment of Hive as a community token in exchange for services and goods. He hopes to provide a space for educators to receive the opportunities and funding for 0training in the different cultures that make up Chicopee and encourage the positive uplifting and educating our youth. He sees the One Strong system as a way to invest and build a peer mentor network in our neighborhoods
and schools. We hopes through our community posts and actions to be the first only member of the network as it expands will showcase the growth in funding possible through the hive blockchain. He also hope to provide funding to give office space for One Strong members to give assistance to Chicopee families and expand access to the following services if needed (housing, food, and clothing).
Utilizing the One Strong community tab to encourage weekly blogs for Chicopee Residents with hive accounts we are incentivizing community engagement amongst our people in a constructive manner that will benefit their futures.
By volunteering their time for meetings, projects, and general events within our community spaces and blogging on their experiences using our community and hashtag they have the opportunity to build bonds with one another and invest into their future.
Any city union may be a part of our planning and curation trail to ensure they are supporting the projects being done. In return they receive curation rewards for interacting using the system.
