#ELPASOCHALLENGE
Sixth grader Ruben Martinez created the now viral #ElPasoChallenge, which asks each person in El Paso to do 22 good deeds for others — one for each of the victims shot and killed by Crusius, indentified as a white supremacist. Ruben wrote a list of kind acts —such as mowing someone's lawn, visiting a nursing home or paying for someone's lunch — as actions to help his community heal.
