"When someone asks us about now, many of us answer with next." - Ken Woodward
We took the mic into Union Market and asked strangers one question. What is your Right Now Question? Their answers, and the quiet trend running underneath them.
On a warm June afternoon in Washington, DC, we stood in Union Market and asked the people passing through a single thing. Not what they do. Not where they are headed. Just this. What is your Right Now Question?
What came back was a market full of strangers, each one carrying something. A job. A move. A book they could not choose. A neighborhood changing faster than anyone can hold. Listen for the trend running underneath the answers, then meet us on the other side for what we noticed.
A few of the Right Now Questions we heard:
Am I going to get this job?
What does peace look like?
Do I stay, or do I go?
Do the new neighbors know what this used to be?
Where will these protests lead us?
What is so hard about being kind?
